Is this torch done for

[Cmajor]

So i have had this Aus blue tip torch in my tank for over 3 months now. It has never fully opened up and has been retracted like this now for about a month. My neon tip torch is starting to do the same thing and my jumbo head duncan opens sometime and sometime he stays retracted. All zoas, mushrooms, and blastos are doing well. Any thoughts??

Not necessarily it could possibly recover. I would try putting it in a more shade area with some medium flow. Try basting some revive or other dip over in case any infection. Maybe Reef Energy + to stimulate any feeding response.

Ill be honest, I have never seen a torch look like that.

Ok i will try locating it under a rock with less light and see what happens. Just not sure why its retracted like that

It is definitely not looking good and succumbing to something. Did you just recently add it? Normally light shock, alk spike, or nutrients bottoming out cause RTN/STN with LPS/torches.

Its been in my tank for 3 months. It was nice and open when i got it. After about a week it slowly overtime hates my tank. Now it looks like this.
