What’s up with me torch

[Benhuan]

Hi all,
Can someone tell what’s up with my toxic green torch? It was fine around 1 hr ago but suddenly it’s turned into this...
(Turned my lights off)
Thanks!

How are your water parameters right now? How long have you had that torch? What is the flow like in that area? Did you dip it before you put it in the tank to get rid of any pests? Do you notice any brown gunk or tissue loss?

I did a water test earlier and everything was normal. As for when I got it, it was around 3 months ago and I did dip it when I first got it I forget which dip I used tho. The flow in that area is indirectly medium to high (no power head is directly pointing there) and my hammer and other torch seem to love it there. I did notice my clown pick at it first perhaps that why it went like this?

It does look like it’s healing no?

Definitely looks better. Something may have just upset it. Keep an eye on it and post if it gets worse.

Mine does that once in a while. Especially when my shrimp climb over it. It probably just got irritated by something. Your torch is not "healing" as you said earlier. It retracts in, when it feels like it's in danger and normally extends again an an hour or so. I'd be concernced if it stayed like that the whole day.

Inflation/deflation is normal among LPS corals. I would keep an eye on that coral where it's at, sometimes euphyllia do not play nice even if they are the same species.
