Torch browning out

[Everything Aquatics]

Got this torch 3 months ago and it’s doing ok. I keep it in lowing light and medium flow. My question is should I give it more light because over time it has started to turn more brown, thanks

You sure that's not a cristata or something?

It looks like a cristata, most of those have gold/brown tentacles with colored tips

It might be it was sold to me as a Tongan gold torch

That is 100% most definitely a cristata. IMO

Ok does it need more light or do you think it’s good

Looks pretty healthy to me. Turning more brown, isn't a light issue. Corals turning brown(particularly SPS) is usually tied to nutrient values in the tank.

Looks good to me looks pretty plump and tentacles extended I’m no pro or expert just trying to ease your mind lol

Ah, I do think Tonga Torches have shorter/stubbier tentacles than your average torch.
