Just wondering if this is the correct amount of tissue on my torches skeleton or if it is experiencing tissue recession. It’s fully open and happy in the daylight. It’s slowly split from one head to around 5 now. Does the tissue look like it thins out as new heads grow? Photo in blues and daylight video added for reference.

During split some portions will shrink and reinflate but also assure nitrate and phosphate have not become elevated
 
Hi friend,
During the splitting phase, its normal for tissue to look "thinner" as the polyp(s) have to share while splitting. If tissue becomes thinner or you have concerns, place the torch in a 45 min ammino acid bath daily until better.
