Does my torch coral’s skeleton look OK?

[Sharkbait19]

Hi,
I’ve had a torch coral in my reef for roughly two and a half months, and it’s doing great. It’s about four inches in diameter and looks like it may be ready to split. However, despite the coral itself flourishing, I can’t help but notice the skeleton has been slowly whitening over the weeks. I first thought nothing of it, as my calcium levels were pretty normal, but now I want to ensure that my coral doesn’t look nutrient deprived or sick. All of my other LPS corals’ skeletons look pretty normal, but they’ve only been introduced to my tank quite recently.
To those with experience—does the torch’s skeleton look healthy? If not, what can I do to help? Thank you!!

It would help if you posted your water params!! It looks healthy, my cotton candy torch has white skin, just the way it adjusted to the tank!

I plan on cleaning my tank soon, so I’ll test my parameters at that point as well.
Thanks!!

It looks healthy to me. Generally you will see a torch has a problem when its not opening or it looks like the fleshy part is pulling away from the skeleton

Some animal is eating the algae on the skeleton. Do you have a sea urchin? Maybe a chiton?

I have a bunch of crabs but that’s all I’d imagine can eat the algae. I do see tons of pods on the skeleton quite often, though.

I’ve had the same issue. Believe it’s a chiton.
