Not sure if anyone has encountered this before, but my gold torch has something pinching one of its tentacles. It’s not a parasite that I know of and it’s been dipped before. Not EEFW. Looks like something got stuck around it so it can’t fully inflate. Any thoughts on what you would do? Coral is otherwise fine.

Thanks for the responses. Could be some algae or debris caught around the tip. Not sure what to do. Torch reacts by closing up when I try to use a toothpick to remove it gently. I’m thinking to leave it as is, unless anyone has ideas (other than snipping it off lol).
