Is my torch coral stressed?

[austinrazer]

My torch has been not fully opening for two days in a row. It has been doing great for about 3 months now and has been growing new polyps/tentacles. I believe it might be splitting. I circled what I believe to be the two separate heads as well as the mouth. Is this normal behavior for a torch? It does not appear to be diseased and there is no “brown jelly” present.

Could you post your full water parameters, tank age, PAR value & howmuch flow the torch is getting?

Thanks!

Normal for torches to look annoyed during splitting process. They could be retracted more than normal for a few weeks. Reduce flow slightly if you can. Just watch for signs of bjd. If no bjd no action needed

My tank will be 1 year old on new years. The torch is getting medium to high flow. I did dial the flow back slightly since it closed up but the flow has not seemed to bother it these last few months. The torch is at the bottom of the tank. Im not sure the exact PAR but im using two AI Hydras set at the AB+ setting for lighting. My salinity is at 35 ppt and temp is at 78.
