Sooo today I went to look in my tank and saw that the whole head of the torch the polyps specifically detached from the skeleton and was floating around like a men while a skeleton was left glued in its place. Same thing happened to my scan colony but this tome it was only one specific head that flew off. Weird or bugs of any type u think? Don’t really spot anything

When they don’t like that area they’ll detach and hoped find a new area.
Place it in a low flow

They may attach to a new rock but no assurance. You could with a LOOSE rubberband attach it to a rock until it takes on to it
