I got this torch coral about a month ago and since them it hasn't looked very good. The tentacles seem very short (although it also looked like that in the store, maybe its a short tentacle variety?). It is growing a new head, so it doesn't seem to be dying and the polyps are out, but I can also see the skeleton. My tank is about 8 months old.
Besides good water quality is there anything else I can do to help it? Maybe lower/higher light or flow? Right now it's in a low light and low-medium flow area.
Parameters:
Alk: 8dkh
Mag: 1350 ppm
Cal: 460 ppm
Nitrates: 0 ppm (Due to hair algae outbreak, I'm dealing with right now)
Phosphates: 0 ppm (Due to hair algae outbreak, I'm dealing with right now)
pH: 8.2
Salinity: 1.025
Ammonia/Nitrites: 0 ppm
