Torch Rage

[gabelex14]

I've got a homewrecker Tenius Acropora and a PC Rainbow encrusting over rock and starting to grow branches but I have torches that are losing heads.... Makes me frustrated for sure

Need more information about your tank

Flow they are getting?
Lights they are getting?
Parameters?
Photos of the torches?
How old is the tank?
Do you notice anything bothering them?

Curious about this one. I wonder if nutrients too low for the torches / euphyllia?

I love torches, but they are not the easiest to keep successfully for a lot of people.

I'll send some here momentarily, par is around 150, Alk is 8.0, salinity is 1.025, temp 77, Nitrate 10 ppm, Phosphate .03, Mag 1350, Calc 420. Only thing I can think is flow but I have other torches that are fine and aren't losing heads

It is possible, I've got acros encrusting all over, SPS are doing fine in the tank. However I do have some torches that are fine. It's confounding

I'm of the opinion that acropora are easier to keep long term than some euphyllia. They are definitely finicky.
