Did you just purchase it? Is it getting direct flow? The flow may be irritating the tissue. Also try feeding mysis. Another issue may be lighting...it could be getting too much if you have MH.

To much flow can do this for sure.

Did you just change lighting?

I moved it about 8" in more direct light..moved it back last night..Ive had the Torch for 2 months now , and its been doing great!...

A friend of mine suggested putting slits into a quart container and putting it over it for a few days to block flow// Thoughts??

So did this happen after you moved it up in the tank?

i didnt move it up..i just moved it over..I have a 135gl 6' tank..moving it 8" mabey increased the par by 50..nothing drastic. mabey 10-15% more flow than it was org. getting..
