Hi All,

I have a green torch which has had very long, stringy and often lumpy tentacles and sweepers for a couple of months now. Some of the tentacles seem to break in half sending a couple of detached tips flying around the tank every day. Some of the tentacles look lumpy and uneven.

It sits right next to a gold torch which seems completely normal (ie nowhere near as long and stringy or jettisoning tentacle tips). There's no damage to the base or any die-off or jelly or anything. Apart from being ugly and annoying me not much else looking wrong.

My tanks is very low on available no3 po4 which is rarely at detectable levels on a salifert test kit. Not sure if this could be an issue.

Couldn't grab a photo this morning but if you need one I'll post tonight.
