Torch coral

Aliu · Feb 27, 2016

Hey guys,

I got my torch probably around 10 days ago. I just realized today that the left side of it seems to be sluggish and receded. Whereas the right side seems to be doing quite well.

I have an extra nano koralia pump on the side of the biocube and it seems like the flow is stronger coming in front the right and not that much coming in from the left.

Do you guys think it's the nonexistent flow that caused the left side to shrink in?

Where do you guys usually keep your torches and how is the flow in your tanks?

It could be because of the flow.Have you tired rotating the piece?

I did! It is a little bit better but still receded a bit. Prob just needs some time to get adjusted.

Is it pretty secure sitting in the sand bed like that or does it keep toppling over? Finding it a good spot among the rocks where both the lighting and flow are sufficient might be a better option. Just make sure to secure the skeleton with some epoxy or glue so it doesn't come loose. GL.
