Got a real headscratcher on my hands. Got 3 torch corals - had them for about a year now. Two of them are thriving, growing, all about that torch life. One of them hasn’t grown whatsoever, comes out but never fully.
Now based on the below params you’ll be quick to point out nutrients, but even when my nutrients were lower it was the same result. Other torches thrive while this one is surviving.
Params:
1.025sg
78 degree temp
8.7 alk
8.2 ph
28ppm nitrate
1ppm phos
My current guesses:
1. Some type of flatworm or pest annoying it.
2. Doesn’t get along with nearby torches - they do not ever touch though.
3. The flow is potentially too high - but then why are the other 2 thriving
