Hi all, here’s my issue
I’ve got two torches that I’ve had for some time now. For at least a month most likely a couple, they have been looking like this in my tank and I can’t figure out why.
they get around 150 PAR give or take around 10-20
Salinity - 1.025
pH - 8.1
Temp - 76°F
Phosphate - around 0 (it’s the Salifert test so it’s not great but I don’t see any blue)
Nitrate - 2.5ppm
Magnesium - 1350-1400 (changes but I dose)
Alkalinity - 9.6
Calcium - 380
I also have a bag of chemi pure blue that’s been in for around 1 month

The torches have not bleached they’ve only lost some of their gold they had when they shipped. Although the info gold is getting some gold back at the tip

All my other corals are fine and open or puffed up so if anyone could give any input that would be greatly appreciated

Focus on lighting which may not be bright enough as it is needed for production of zooxanthellae which provides it color and energy
