Torches can split, but very slowly. It does not happen quickly like an anemone. A way you can tell if it is dying is if you can see an exposed skeleton.
 
I had feed reef roids and just tested the water with a api test kit and phosphate was off the charts i think that affected it i turned off my wave maker to the torch i feed the roids about two days ago
 
High phosphate shouldn't be causing the problem, it more so affects coral with more skeleton. I guess though, if they are super high, maybe that's the cause of the problem, but I honestly don't know.

The API phosphate test is no good for our hobby, it’s not precise enough for our needs. Just disregard the API test and invest in a good quality phosphate tester. Salifert and hanna are good.
