Check for proper water flow over it needs medium and moderate to higher lighting check chemicalss make sure your pH is right and that you have enough calcium in the tank how often do you do water changes do you have a protein skimmer what size is the tank and what is the filtration

Water flow is good I run the nyos 160 skimmer I run a sump with algae's chemicals are always in check. Calcium is at 560 like always. He has been fine forever torches in the back are happy.

I had a carpet an enemy that ate every new fish I put in it the next day it would be gone I don't suggest carpets and I'm regretting the Anatomy I just killed one hammer Coral Too Close brains and my favorite Hammer Coral I feed it wherever it is but it still keeps going I think I'm going to need an anatomy cradle have you ever saw one of those I see the core on The Middle and it looks like it's being stressed any new water movement or lighting tour around it or is it sat there the whole time and supposed to look like the big one

Middle one I think that's the torch coral you talking about that looks stressed anything new over it around it under it new chemicals to the water your protein skimmer is properly operating a lot of corals won't do good in dirty water do you have a clean up crew this eliminates phosphates and nitrates from being in the tank

Make sure you're none of me is happy it will not move if it is being fed right proper lighting and water flow and feedings I see you you have one on the other side of your tank watch it very carefully how long have you had it anatomies will start to move with stress lack of food water movement or light but it does not sound like you're an enemy is a problem watch it very closely I didn't and it took out one of my nicest corals

No use for proper grammar you can get it in one sentence I'm not going to sit here and type it out if I can't voice to email it doesn't need to be sad but the coral she's talking about is stressed she needs to find out when this started and why the other torches look perfectly fine
