New Torches - Won’t Open? Bad placement?

[dmmitchell]

Picked up two torches from an online shop. They’ve been in the tank for about 5 days. Flow is light - factory return pumps, random flow. Two AI Prime 16s set at about 40% for 8 hours daily.

30-40% water changes every 10 days. Parameters are normal.

Any advice or ideas? Torches are on the left and right sides of the close up photo.

Some corals get ticked off. Try putting them at the bottom with low flow for a couple days, then gradually raise them to where you want them. My torches pulled this crap too. Hope this helps my friend!

They like pretty decent flow(moderate or a little more than) and moderate light, did you light acclimate to the height theyre at?

30-40% seems like a lot for water changes every 10 days unless your running without a skimmer. how many fish do you have ? & what is your n03 & p04 levels? torch corals typically don't like low p04.

Okay I have wanted to stock similarly, how do they do together? Hawk eat any of the cuc? Puffer nip any coral?
