Torch coral won’t fully open

[Plattskyler4]

I purchased this torch about two months ago from a lfs. I know now that I should have passed on it because it was not doing good in the store. Theses are my Parameters
Ph-8.2
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Nitrate-20-10
Cal-400
Kh-10
Phosphate-0
It’s in a medium flow and and in the top 1/3 of the tank under led’s. I have noticed some growth other the two months. The last picture is about a week after I got it and the other pictures are from today. Will it take time for it to open up more or should I try moving it around ?

Your torch looks fine to me in the first three photos. The last photo it looks a bit retracted but as long as it's not always like that it's fine. The biggest problem I'm seeing is zero po4. You want to maintain po4 at 0.03 - 0.1. I would not move the torch.

I would place it at the sand bed for a little while. I typically place new euphyllia additions at the sand bed to allow them to light acclimate for a while, especially if they look as if they are struggling.

Tentacles are out, which is a good sign. Two months is a short time and you just need to let it adjust for a while. Your tank looks a little new as well.

Your numbers look good.

@35ppt, I agree on the P04.

What kind of leds. Cristatas are a shallow water euphyllia and like a lot of light. Also what’s your mag. I would boost calcium a bit if you are going to keep your alk that high, also boost phosphate, feed more.

Thank you for the fast reply’s the tank has been running since July but just started adding coral the past few months.
