is my torch coral splitting?

[wcfost]

Hello... (almost) brandy new to R2R, and equally new to reefing. I've had my 55g up for a month or so, and this torch in for about 2 weeks. It looks to me like he's starting to split, but because I'm new and don't know what coral growth ought to look like (and because he's new to the tank so I've got an eye out fo anything weird), I figured I'd ask for some feedback here.

Thanks!

They don't necessary split but they do grow new heads... As for yours it does look like a second head is forming...

Oh, alright. Should I be dosing anything to help him with the growth?

Looks like its growing into two! Before you know it you gonna have a huge torch. My Todd's torch went from four heads to 16 in no time

Calcium and alkalinity unless you keep up with regular water changes... Doesn't look like you have many corals so the demand isn't really high.... Get some test kits if you don't have them already...

Alrighty, yeah I've been doing 10% weekly. It's still very lightly stocked and the test kits are en route. Thanks!

Shouldn't have any problems then... Once you get more corals your gonna want to start dosing... As for now it looks happy so just keep doing what your doing..
