Ok this is my third torch from three different LFS. It was doing good for about four days. For the past week and a half to two weeks it has had no tentacles or very very little ones. Basically looks like a fox coral now. My frogspawn and hammer are doing great. They are on seperate sides of the tank. What is going on. What conditions (lighting and flow) do these guys like? Or am I just not a torch kinda guy?
 
That's pretty crazy. I have had my torch from years...back of the tank little flow and light, middle of the tank medium flow/light, and now top back high flow/light. Everytime it has been fine and adjusts to the conditions. I always figured it was a pretty hardy coral. With your others doing well its hard to tell.
 
What conditions was it in at the LFS? My guess is that it was in either lower flow or lower light (or both) than what you have it in now.

This last one was under 250 watt MH with VHOs good flow. The other two I don't remember any more. Mine is half way up under 6 t5s with decent flow.
