Torch Exposing Mouth Recently

[ntsianos]

Hi everyone!

Insanely impressed by the community!
I've tried searching for this issue to see if I should be concerned but can't find too much - this seems different from most torch related issues I've found.

I've had this Australian green tip torch for 3 weeks, no issues, looks great under lights. Last night it starting spreading in the center (it's mouth?) and it's doing it again now after the lights went out. Doesn't seem to be expelling anything. No major changes to the tank. Zoas, mushrooms, clownfish, cuc all doing good. During the day the center closed again but it wasn't fully extending.

14g nano tank - up for 3 months
77.5 degrees
Salinity 1.026
Ammonia 0 (API test)
Nitrates <5 (API test)
Alkalinity 8.7 dkh
Calcium 420 ppm

Any wisdom is appreciated!

Evening,

Sorry for the delay. The polyps look healthy , nothing comes out is good. Have you tried a bit of food to see if it responds? I can’t see anything of concerns. They do like feeding every few days, or some leftovers from the fish feeding

see if anyone else sees the pic and has more to offer

Hi Mastiffsrule, really appreciate the input. Since writing this the torch has returned to normal and looks healthy, both day and night. Also eats. I may post more pictures later, but I'm guessing this is normal torch behavior? Definitely had me scared there to see it open so wide around the center.
