Any ideas how to help my torch? It's mounted mid level in my 100 gallon tank. Medium flow. Currently have Coolia dinos. Could that be the cause? Running carbon and UV. Dosing phyto, Dr Tim’s Eco-Balance, nitrates and phosphates. Other corals in the DT seem ok except for a few small zoas that are a bit annoyed.

SG: 1.026
Nitrate: 10.6
Phosphate: 0.02
Alkalinity: 9.1
Calcium: 420
Magnesium : 1470

Do you have photos of the rest of your tank?
How long has your torch looked like that?
What are you using to test your parameters?

I'll take some additional photos when I get home. Torch started retracting each day over the past week or so. Been in its current state for about 2 days. Using Hanna testers for nitrate, phosphate, and alk. Salifert for calc and mag.
