can't figure out why

1.025 sal
45 nitrates
0.1 phosphate
1300 mag
420 calc
alk 7.7
ammonia 0
nitrite 0

my other 2 torches doing fine 2 days ago the torch in question just fully retracted at 2pm which is unusual then since it has never been the same

Has the torch for like 2 month now and it's been bulletproof apart from the last 2 days

How long has the tank been running for? Is your tank going through the ugly stages still?

Pics a little blurry, but it seems like you have a major algae outbreak and maybe cyano too. Cyanobacteria definitely ticks off torches in my experience.

Is it that torch on the bottom left? Is it an aussie gold?

It doesn’t look bad from that picture. If it is an Aussie gold, those sometimes have shorter, fatter tentacles.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
