Sup guys I wanted to know if I move my torch on the rock pointed out in my picture…would it cause it stress…the par is around 90 to 100 par where it is now…where I want to place it par is around 120 par….I had a torch on that rock about 2 months ago it did not do good it died…what do u guys think….reason why I want to move it is because the torch Tentacles are Touching the sand bed

It will let you know if it doesn't like it, only one way to find out.

Agree with post above, may want to check placement depending on flow coming from that powerhead. PAR-wise seems like a good move, but flow-wise it may get pummelled if too close. Torches like to stretch out with varying "gentle-yet-chaotic" flow... really like threading the needle... if it's too 1 directional it may not be happy.

I'd be concerned about the powerhead as well. They don't like direct flow. 120PAR is fine.
Tentacles touching the sand bed really isn't an issue.
