Deflated torch

[JohnnyTJ09]

I have this green torch that I got 3 weeks ago and after a few days it was bigger then the hammer coral that’s shown in the video. 4 days later and it shrunk down and hasn’t gotten bigger since. Is the flow or light too high? What do you guys think. Last water change was yesterday. It’s mouth is also wide open

Make sure it doesn't get blast directly, bottom or mid placement are prefer. Also what is your parameters

Here’s another photo and the flow is about medium-high... If the video doesn’t work

Flow not to bad for it size, what about your water parameters

Haven’t tested since water change but nitrates and phosphates should be low

Need full water parameters to know exactly what really happens. When it mouth wide open mean something ticked it off, low nutrients also starve them LPS like little dirty water

Testing now.

 

[JohnnyTJ09]

Nitrate-24ppm
Phosphates-0.2ppm
Salinity-1.025

What about cal, alk, mag. Nutrients are not bad, in acceptable range. What ligh do you use?

Probably too much light. I'd lower it. It takes time to acclimate them to different intensities

I had it on a frag rack off to the side for a week. Should I move it a little more off axis? When i change my lights it messes with my sps

Lower the torch in the tank to the bottom and every week move it up an inch or 2
