Bought a small frag of torch coral, and i had it at the bottom of the tank for a few days and it all extended and it seemed happy, decided to place it on the Rock and glued it down and it's been kinda stubby for the last 2-3 days. Should I move it? I went ahead and changed my light schedule to have less intensity for now.
Going to test other parameters tomorrow at the LFS but Im not sure if I should just place it back in the bottom maybe it didn't acclimate fully? I have zoas at the bottom acclimating and seem fine for now.
Salinity 1.026
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 10
Phosphates 0
Ph 8.0
 
Torches are the pickiest of euphyllia in my opinion. I have all of mine on the sand and they do well there. Can you post a picture? It's not unusual for them to retract for part of a day or so but if they remain retracted it could mean it's not happy in that locations. They do like a good amount of flow so keep that in mind.
