Torch coral deflated

[Jordanwilsher]

Hi, I got a torch coral of my cousin about 2 weeks ago, it was doing to well in his tank. put in my tank and began looking better within a few days, even got it feeding. However today my sand was getting really brown so had to stir it up, knocked over the torch and now what of the heads is deflated, don't know if it is just because the light is off. can anyone help? I took a picture earlier on to show my cousin how much better it had come out. pictures bellow, when I first got it, earlier today and now.

WELCOME TO R2R! For starters How olds your tank?

If you’re lights are off it should be normal but wait to see what happens when they’re on and go from there.

It is normal for them to retract when lights go out and when they feel they are in danger. I would see how it is in the am after a few hours of light. I would not mess with it or move it for a few days if it was fine before.

Looks like a brand new tank... may be reacting to the chemistry.

Welcome. Hows your ligting and flow in the tank? How long had it been running? What have you tested recently?
