Is this normal for a new Torch Coral?

[JeremyBrookover]

About a week ago I bought a torch coral. I dipped it and acclimated it to the light. It generally stays open all day and retracts at night. My only issue/concern is a part of it seems odd. The tentacles are darker in color and don't seem to retract out that far. I'm new to this and a little concerned that it could be bad. It was at one point next to a piece of live rock and I'm not sure if it rubbed against it or what.



I've tested the water and everything is what it needs to be. I have moved it down from the live rock to see if that helps. I just want to know what's going on so I don't worry, haha.


Thanks!

Welcome to R2R. I'd give it some time, it looks like something irritated the coral. Keep a close eye on it.

Thank you! Yeah i'm worried that it might have been bothered by the live rock next to it. I'll keep watching it like a hawk, haha.

Welcome to R2R! Torch corals can be tempermental at times. I would just leave it alone, don't move it around a bunch. It looks like it could have been irritated by another coral, maybe even before you bought it? Also could be a fresh-ish cut head. Good luck with it!

Welcome to R2R Jeremy!

I would also just watch it for a while as it’s adjusts to your system
