Pls help torch coral in trouble

[Drewff]

Ok so tldr im a beginner my first tank but its been running for year and a half. Every thing in my tank is doing good all my parameters are in line butt my torch corals are not doing so well one is open all good but not plump its like stringy (pics) and the other is not very happy. im not good with forums so any help would be nice

What type of flow is it in

 

[Theo15]

Is it getting enough light ? It looks kinda bleached

 

[Coralfuture]

It doesn’t look too bad to me in those pics. My torches go through those pics every day depending on the lighting. Did you change anything lately? Has this been going on for a few days or just now?

 

[sfin52]

Mine in lower flow thicker polyps faster flow thinner. That’s how mine are.

 

[Drewff]

No nothing changed and sorry both them torches are diff ones i fraged off the same conoloy nothing has changed had them like 6 months my tank has been the same for 3 months the past 2 weeks they went throu this every thing else is doing good even frogspawn

Are the clownfish bothering them?

I would post your parameters and are they stable week to week? I see a lot of tissue recession on your LPS corals in the last pic.

I bought it was worse then that it was at a lfs i got the conoly for 35 to good to pass up every thing is stable pho is a little elevated but not out of range

The wall hammer i got like that awhile back opens up nice but not realy geting beter

Okay, when you say “Parameters or okay” what is your definition of okay? Can we see the numbers for:
Salinity
PH
Temp
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
Phosphate
Alkalinity
Calcium
Magnesium

Also what do you have for Lights and flow.

Just keep in mind that torches like Moderate light and lots of indirect flow. They look like branching torches so they are at least more forgiving than Wall torches. Wall Euphyillia can be very picky when it comes to water chemistry.

Hi Zack I'm having similar

Thats how my torch is. It was just never happy in the tank. However, the hammer and frogspawn are happy as can be.
