What happened to my torch??? It has not been fully coming out Recently, and now is shriveled up

It looks like it's in pretty rough shape. But need a lot more info:
A picture under whites will help.
How long have you had it?
Was there any flesh on the "stem" when you got it? ( It's completely receded now)
What are your parameters, (nitrates, phosphates, alkalinity, magnesium, calcium,salinity,and temp) and have there been any swings?

I’ve had it for about 3 months, there was a bit of flesh on the stem when I received it, recently there has been a little drip in calcium, but I have been dosing every day to bring it back to normal. Everything else is at good levels. I have no idea what’s going on. Could an emerald crab be eating the flesh? I see him on my other torch sometimes at night

The flesh recession is most likely from less-than-healthy water conditions. "Good levels" tells me nothing...

Sorry was at work but just posted my levels rn, calcium is a tad low Ik, but I’m consistently dosing for that now.

Liek cmon this has be be the cause right!!?

You are starving the coral. You need nitrates and phosphates! I suggest nitrates of at least 10 (up to 30 would be better) and phosphates of 0.1-0.3.

Nope.

What are your phosphates at?
