Hey guys just bought my first bunch of soft corals! Ive had them for 2 days now. First day i set them all in the sand and they were all stretched out and happy so the next day i moved them around and all look happy except part of my torch coral. The torch was really happy and today i come home fron work and one is all branched out and one is all sagged..is it getting used to my tank? Anmonia,nitrates,nitrites,and phosphate all zero and salinity is 1.024 calcium was low at 300 could that be the cause?

1, stop moving them around so much.
2, if all else is in check (parameters) torch corals are generally hardy, they just like good flow.

My guess is a snail or hermit probably bumped it.
300 cal isn't a deal breaker..
Gradually bump it up though
 
In my opinion too much light
Also i will check for brown jelly if so i will frag the branch immediatly
Waiting for other opinions
