Can anyone help tell me why my torch coral looks like this ? It looks like it has it's pants pulled up to it's chest and the tentacles are short.

it looks perfectly healthy to me. tentacles may be short due to having lots of light, if your really worried about it i would check chemistry and just let it do its thing. but IMO it looks perfectly fine.
I have the intensity set at 60 % and it's maybe halfway from the bottom, I got a 125gl tank. Should I drop the intensity down to 50 % ?

Any changes recently?
Isnt the whitish pink part just below the tentacles hard skeleton, new growth?
My torches get longer with more flow.

I run my Jester 4" below the water line directly under my A360X. 4 hours of blue at 100% intensity and 5 hours of all channels (color, UV, red, green) at 100%. These things can take the light.

i wouldn't move it...

No new changes , I'm not sure about the pink part, I think that is mostly the fleshly part
 
It looks good, just really inflated! I don't see any recession or anything. What's the flow on it?
The flow isn't too hard on it , not sure if I should adjust more flow to it though but it might be telling me it wants more, maybe...

I wouldn’t change anything unless you start to see tissue recession or if it stops inflating. In my experience, LPS do the best when they’re in a stable environment.

If you’re decide to change the light or flow, change it slowly.
