Torch help?

[jsnider5]

Any ideas what could be bothering my torch? Is it a flow issue?

Salinity is 34.6
Phosphate .11
Nitrate 14
Mag between 1260-1290
I haven’t had the chance to test alk but I usually sit right around 8.0
The torch was added over a week ago and just looks so stiff all the time.

I’m hoping to fix whatever it’s being irritated by.

Well, probably either light or flow or both. From the video it could definitely need more random flow. I can’t tell about light. In my tank, euphyllia seem to thrive with magnesium at 1400 or higher but currently I don’t think that’s your problem. Good luck and keep us updated.

Does that look like too much light?

I can’t tell at all, they like moderate light. Par around 150-200 is perfect but I’ve seen some people who acclimated them to higher.

IMO it needs more laminar flow. The flow it going more upright that’s why the tentacles look like that. Increase flow more and across the head but make sure it’s still random
