Torch coral not fully extending

[collinnelson9]

Hello I have a quick question most torch corals I see are extended double or triple of what mine is extending. I have a New York Knicks torch and my parameters are 440 calc 1390 mag and 10.6 alk my phosphates and nitrates are right where the need to be on paper but I do have a touch of algae giving me false results. I have had it for over a month now and it seems like it has peeked on reach from the tentacles.

What are the phosphate and nitrates numbers? How old is the tank. Euphyllia can be very challenging for a new tank.

Also, too much or too little flow can make them not extend and too much light as well.
