Hello all just wondering what’s going on with my torch as it’s been like this for around 2 months

All that white part is the skeleton above the rock
That should be covered with flesh.

List all your parameters, flow and lighting/settings.
Also need how long have you had it and acclimation. Is this the first you noticed it receding?
Anything picking on it? List of fish and inverts like shrimp/crabs that may pick.

Params are all fine, they’re in the levels they’re supposed to be. I’ve had this torch for about 3-4 months now, I did bleach it after 3 days of having it but the colors have been back for about 2 months now, no inverts or fish pick on it. It’s been like this a few months now just curious as to why it’s been like this and what it can mean

Possibly flow issue, last time mine did this I realized my alk was low 6.5. It was ticked.

Still need to know. How can we help if you don't give us any info?
You may think your numbers are fine but your coral is still not doing well.
So help us help you. Give us something to work with.

all I can see is flesh over skeleton, which is something good. images under white light and more info would help.
