If you look closely. Can you see one mouth or two? If you see 2 mouths then its definitely splitting, though mine isn't shrink like that when splitting. I would check your alk

Do you see a natural split of the skin on the torches?

 

[unklez]

Dunno guys I dont see any mouth its hard to see with the tightly packed tentacles.

I took more pictures.

I always do a double dip the first dip is in RX, Revive, or Bayer depending on the coral and possible critters then for 2 dip I always use an iodide based dip like medicoral which helps heal the coral and prevent bacterial infections which bacterial infections seem to be the number one reason torchs die

It looks good, to me it looks like its splitting! Torches are finicky and I've observed mine (I have 3 different kinds) do similar things over the past year when they split.

It looks like it’s splitting, the natural indent is one of the biggest signs. Do not mess with it anymore, low light, low flow area. It needs stability more than ever right now.
