Torch coral dead ?

[gzilla]

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 ?

It's not dead. How's your flow?

i have a vortech mp10 set at 50%
I bought it last week, i had a crappy power head previously.

I would check to ensure that particular torch isn't possibly getting too much flow.

okay thank you ! before it wasn’t receiving any flow other than the return pump passage

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

If we're still referring to the first image, it still has its tentacles - does it not?

It's okay it's not very happy but it's okay but definately move it.

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
