It doesn’t look like yours are fully extended. Too much lighting or too much/little flow affects the extension of the tentacles.
The tentacles on my recently split heads are shorter, but they do lengthen over time. You can see some of these shorter tentacles in my original picture above at the bottom right hand corner of the torch. The tentacles on yours look really short and stubby. I had to take another look to make sure it wasn’t grape coral.
I a month into owning this coral I went from return pump only to nero 5 on random, as you can see in my video I have good flow on the torch.@troutman coincidentally another recent torch coral thread talking about tentacle extension.
What affects torch Coral polyps extention?
I've had a few torches for 2 years and I would say they are fairly acclimated to my tank. Mine curious why they have short polyp verse the long polyp I saw they had in the store. What parameter would affect them? Would lowering/raising par help? I'm also running a waterbox 135. Have 2 mp40...www.reef2reef.com
That being said when I added the flow, the torch really didn't change too much from having pretty much zero flow.
So I take all those with a grain of salt especially because plenty of people's torches enjoy much higher flow than I am running.
Gonna lower my lights settings again
