Hi all, I recently purchased 3 torches. Seen in the image. Two have recovered perfectly however one (middle) hasn’t recovered. I tried feeding, redipping in revive and gently cleaning the skeleton to make sure nothing is obstructing it. Anyone have any ideas what might be happening or how to revive it?

You can see in the images what it looks like compared to the others I got at the same time. IMG_3054.jpeg IMG_3054.jpeg

either too much flow, or just still stressed, I would turn flow off for around an hour to two hours and see what happens, too much flow will not let it relax and open

Is it possible the other two like the flow and this one doesn’t? It seems strange that they were all purchased together and in the same spot of the tank but one doesn’t like it. I’ll turn off the flow and post an update in a couple of hours.
 
How long ago is "recently purchased"? I would try moving it to a lower flow spot rather than turn off the flow, since the other corals are happy, turning off the flow affects the whole tank. Just my 2 cents.

I purchased these three a week ago. The flow has been off for about 30 minutes with no results.

Be patient. Some corals just take longer to settle in than others. You may be doing more harm than good by target feeding, dipping, cleaning and messing with flow.
