My torches tentacles have shrunk and gotten fat. Before they were long and skinny. Is there a reason why they do that? Has been like that for a day now after I moved him to my main display. Has never heppend before.

Could be one or more reasons...lighting, flow, nutrients, handling/moving it, etc. Give it time to become happy in its environment. Also, look for any injury, brown jelly disease, invert &/or fish picking at it, etc.

Likely due to the stress on moving. What are the before and after parameters? The more they are different, the more the stress of the move.

They’re all fairly new to my tank. I think it’s an acclimation thing. The Indo gold one was super long and happy For two weeks. Then just closed up and when it came out it was fat and stubby. The Indo green I have is fine. I did turn up my flow a bit but turned it back down after seeing it’s reaction.
