I have a torch coral that looks to be splitting into 2 heads. The one sides white tissue however looks to have much less then the other. Idk if it’s normal or not as I am new to coral keeping. I just fed the coral so the “tentacles aren’t as long” but they seem to fully extend normally. The one to the right in the image that’s closer to the wave maker is the one I’m asking about. Its tentacles seem to just extend from the hard part with a really thin white band rather than the other that has a decent amount of white tissue. Thanks for the help.

How close it to the powerhead? Is it receiving direct laminar flow? If so, that is why it is retracted. It is protecting itself. The flesh on euphyllia is delicate and can be torn from the skeleton with direct, laminar flow.

Solved the problem. Flow was little to direct. Changed the angle and now it’s a lot better. Now just battling Dino’s.
