Woke up to my torch looking like this. Literally yesterday it was all fine any theory’s/suggestions.also moved it to the sand bed.


Salinity
1.024
Phosphate
0.04ppm
Nitrate
15
Magnesium
1380
Alk
11.2-11.5
 
Salinity is a bit low. I keep mine at 1.026. Alk is also high but that could be your preference? What lights are you using and how much photo period? Do you know how much PAR it gets?

Lastly, mine does that every night. Then opens during day. So unless it stays closed for a long period/several days I wouldn’t worry
 
How long have you had it? And watching out for pests, light, flow
 
your ALK is too high try to keep at 8.5~9
also my torchs likes high flow , under Hydra 64 with reefbrite light
