Can anyone figure out what’s going on or why my torch corals are growing this way? Polyp bailout? Flow? Lighting? Trying to figure out why they are doing this looks wacky... like what are they doing lollll

First picture looks terribly stressed. The other two pictures looks like the torch is acclimating to your tank. Tank params? Did you acclimate him in a shady/low flow area?

He’s been there for 4+ months just recently he’s started to grow like upwards. From my experience a stressed torch retracts or bails out not sure why it would open and go up like it is.

They’ve been in the tank for a several months each and my params are stable I use a trident/apex system. More I’m asking what’s the growth for why would it do this lol.
