I got this torch today its few hours old in my tank, and was wondering why the polyps looks deflated?

iv had hammers before, and all kind of los never seen a deflated polyp. Its black light torch, wanted something cheap to begin with.

I know its new but still nervous about the deflated polyps…

Looks a little rough but just give it time to adjust

Give it a day or so and it will plump up during daytime if it's happy.
Don't worry it is normal for them to deflate in the evening/night and when they're grumpy.

I agree probably just acclimating, give it some time. Not the cause but torches seem to thrive with magnesium a little above 1400.
