Hey All,
My Green tip torch has been in the tank a few days now. When I first got it in there I noticed one head seemed to have closed up quite a bit, one side of it had some tentacle things (whatever they're called ) barely sticking out and the other seemed to have either suck right back into the skeleton or not had any in the first place. Figured it might just be mad about the move so left it.
After a couple of days the rest of the torch is out and waving around madly and loving the light, but the one that had sucked right back into the skeleton seemed to still be sucked right in, and the other which was barely showing had sucked right in from what I could tell.
I started to question whether the side that was barely showing any was actually showing some in the first place!
Just wondering what everyone's opinion is as to what's going on here and maybe how I can help it come back out?
When it first went in
A day or so after, you can see one side is sucked in a lot still, the other basically non existent.
Today; Torch appears to be mostly loving life, however both sides of that head seem (or heads?) seem to have completely disappeared).
I tested parameters the other day as per below and currently working on getting the alk up at least around the 8.5 mark or so.
Salinity - 1.0206
Alk - 6.1 initially (currently sitting at 7.6 after 3 days of dosing)
pH - 7.8
Nitrate - 20ish (WC and a good sand vac happening this w/e, maybe adding some more snails for cuc).
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Calcium - 450
Magnesium - 1350
Thanks
