New torch - unhappy or sick?

[frostbyte707]

Morning all

Brought this “joker” torch home yesterday from a shop, wasn’t fully extended In the shop but put that down to a low amount of flow in the tank it was in.

Since coming home it’s been dipped in revive and it’s fully retracted and hasn’t come out at all. The rest of the tank are all happy (mixture of frogspawn torch and hammers)

not sure if it’s just unhappy with the move or if it’s sick/has an issue I need to address

would appreciate any advice please!

It's only been in your tank for a day?
Give it some time to acclimate, could be a few days to a week before it starts to extend.

Hello!

Yes you are going to want to give the Torch a little bit of time. Once it acclimates in your system and you get him moved up you should start to see him come out a bit more each day.

Update - overnight seems to be doing much worse, concerned now that it might have something that might harm other corals and need to give this up as a lost cause?
