So as I feed corals his mouth opened up larger than normal. Guessing this much is a bit much causing it to stress? The tentacles are closed up in this picture. But he is back opened up with long tentacles with a tight mouth. The mouth look like it’s a little swollen but not alarming. Just curious can this be a normal behavior?
 
Torch doesn't look good

Parameters?

light and flow?

Recent changes to your tank?

Everything else is doing well?

Main problem is my corals don’t have the best color. I started to does 5ml per day of nyos amino acids. Two weeks ago I increase my flow to make torch coral have more dance effect on tentacles.

I wanna say the light schedule is the issue. I have 3 Radeon gen 5 xr15 pros

I was having a par issues with the intensity set to 88% getting 70-100ish all around the bottom of my sand bed.
I was originally running warm whites at 50% with cool whites at 0%

So I just turned down the 50% warm whites to 24% and increasing the cool whites to 24% thinking it would level out. Big problem I realized is the xr15 pros only has 3 diodes per light for warm white. Cool whites have 12 diodes which I’m sure heavily increase the par but have yet to check. All my corals still look happy even the one in the picture it is fully open and stretched out. Main concern I can’t pinpoint the problem I’ve been having. I just know that mouth did not look good yesterday with the tentacles closed up and im going to be running into a problem sooner than later with other corals
