I’ve had this torch for over 8 months and it’s been doing amazing but lately it hasn’t expanded as much. The tentacles are fat and wrinkly and look as if they’re twisting off. The color is more vibrant now which I find weird. It’s mouth is closed. It looks like there’s a lot of baby tentacles growing in. Anyone have any idea what it’s doing? I just want to make sure it’s not dying. Thanks!

mine goes through phases like that. especially if an invert moves around it, if its handled, or changes in flow, or nutrients. I take it as something bothered it. usually bounces back the same or next day. if it stays that way I would check all my parameters, flow, lights for changes.
 
Thanks for the reply...it’s been that way for a couple of weeks now so I’m guessing it could be the lighting. Thanks!

Have you changed anything lately?

Flow?

Lighting?

Feeding?
 
Has their been any changes lately to lighting.
What’s your water parameters and how long have they been stable.
 
Since I’ve lowered the light and flow it seems to be doing better.
