I've had this blue/green ricordia for 4-5 months. Its been very generally very happy, but in the last 3 days its been receding and has pulled its self way back in to a hole. Sorry for the bad photo, but you can also see another ricordia just below that is still out and inflated.

I have a large torch (its becoming a monster!) that may occasionally brush the ricordia, but only very occasionally when the flow is *just* right.

Is the torch the cause of this? Any suggestions on how to relocate the ricordia when its this far into a hole?

Very possible that the torch stung it and it's receded back because of that. Only thing you can really do is give it time to recover.
