Over the past few days my torch has been turning white and started to recede. My torch next to it is fine and all other corals are doing great. Any help is appreciated.

Your parameters look to be within order.

Has anything changed in the system, in the room it's in? Changes to food, water or salt being used, lighting?

Where is it sitting in relation to light and flow? The more info the better and pics under whites may help others see something important.

How long have you had this particular torch?

Have you checked the flesh of your other torches today seen if the flesh is also receding on theirs?

Something is bothering it....

Mag is a little low but other numbers look ok.

Have you had an alk or phos swing?

What lights are you using and at what intensity also do you know the par in that area?

I would lean towards either too much light or flow.

What app is that for tracking? I like that layout better than Aquarimate
