Is my torch coral dead?
I’ve had this coral for more than six months (second picture shows how healthy it was) it was doing great, then last two months ago it started looking really bad. it still inflates more than what is shown in the first picture but i don’t see any tissue. it eats too. what can i do to save it ?

32.5 gallon tank
450 CA
1380 MG
9 Alk
1.023 Salinity

2x Radion xr 15

My torches seem to do best when they get indirect flow, and just kind of slowly wave back and forth.
i’ll try to adjust my power head! but other than that, the coral isn’t dead ? it’s definitely unhappy, i don’t see any tissue, just skeleton

The tissue looks good but there is recession. Post a video under White intensity if possible as in still pic, the tentacles seem to be bending a little suggesting too much flow. Medium light intensity suggested and assure calcium level which is essential is no lower than 380-400. Also assure phosphate level not elevated
