I woke up today to my torch coral looking in rough condition. I tried changing the light settings and now that one coral looks bad but the others look fine. I changed it back but am wondering what happened. Could it have been flow or the light. The coral is pretty new so I was thinking it could be either. Image below

Tank looks pretty clean. What are your nutrient levels? :) parameters are pretty important imo.
Consider getting yourself one at some point !

Ok. I will try and chime in. Changing your light intensity is the last thing you want to do. Corals need time...ie...weeks to adjust to increased intensity.
What are your parameters?
How old is the tank?
