I recently bought a malaysian torch a few weeks ago. The torch appears fully extended and flowing nicely but the color seems light compared to what I remember at the LFS. I'm worried it is bleaching. I was told though that if it was bleaching and unhappy, it would also likely be retracted. So perhaps it is just my lighting? Here is a video of it. My temp is 77-78, pH 8.1, alk 9.5, salinity 1.026, phos 0.1, nitrate 3. I haven't checked Ca and Mg yet since this is my first LPS but I have some testers on the way. I use IO reef crystals and do weekly 10% water changes.
