Noticed one of the heads on my torches closes up intermittently through the day. Saw these on the side tonight. Anything to worry about?

Are you referring to the whiter spots?
 
Are those purple spots hard like coralline algae? Or soft like sponges? I don’t think either would be issues.

How far is the flesh band stretching over the skeleton? It looks a bit short….

The purple bits have little tentacles on them. And im really not familiar enough with torches to know how far the flesh should be.

Heres a photo during the day.
 
That daytime picture shows a healthy indo torch in my opinion...dragon soul coloration?

Little tentacles? Not aiptasia-like though, right? they look too purple. I don't know.
