Help with torch

[SwiftStorm]

Hi, my torch is doing something weird. I've had this piece for over a year and never seen anything like this. Only number off is my salinity. It does to 33.1 after water change. I guess I bumped my refractometer while making salt. It was too weak. I have 75 gallon and changed around 12 gallons.

Thank you

So, what's it doing that's weird?
Deflating? Was the temp matched?
12 gallons is about 17%. 33.1 from 35 is really not much in 1/6 of tank volume.
Could just be a temporary thing. Sometimes corals do that. See how it looks tomorrow.

Water temp was room temp. I have a mixing station where the water is stored.

Not a fan of torches in the sand bed. Get a preset heater to throw into your mixing station.. could be a number of things. It’s only concerning if it doesnt open back up.

I think it knows I planned on fragging it next week. Too big and bothering other corals.

I think, imo, it got a little chilled. Should be okay tomorrow. Again, imo.

A change in salinity decreases all components.
I find torches fragile to both changes in water chemistry and light intensity.
Just put salinity back.

Perfect.
If that’s the only unhappy coral, no worries.
