last two needs ID pls,they doing fine. lighting is Kessel Tuna Blue 12 hours day cycle. I would really appreciate your advice and help. Water par are Nitrite 0 Nitrates 0.10 ammonia slightly high as 0.15-25.trying to solve with water changes. PH 8.
 
I don't see anything that looks obviously wrong with any of those corals. Everything looks open and extended to me.
 
Green torch older pic . if looked rounder and more inflated. One head started to loose colour and I moved it on the sand bed.

About zoa's .aren't they suppose to have pink centres on each polyp.
Sorry for my language, I'm trying my best.

both torches look healthy, the coral is just reacting to the diffent light level, flow etc.

Any other changes happen? how long was the coral in the tank in the old photo vs the new location?
 
Any amount of ammonia is going to tick off the corals more than it will the fish.

It looked good with Aquaone built-in lights,before installed Kessel .other corals seems to like a new lighting.
 
its not uncommon for corals to change appearance, growth patterns, or color shift when placed under new lights.If you look at the skeleton and ensure that the coral is growing and tissue is not receding then the coral is doing just fine and has adapted to its new light :)
 
Put it in the shade on the bottom, it will do much better there, you will also need to spot feed it.
 
Thank u guys for helping out.
I have noticed today that Chilli is looking pretty shrinked and flesh is falking of rock. Can I take it out of water and glue it back to rock?
PS ammonia is 0 Nitrates 0.5. Today.
 
Softies are really tough to glue back onto their rock. If you just move the rock, and he likes it better, he will reattach himself.
