Please... Stop moving the torch. Daily relocations for 5 days is enough to keep a torch from opening. You also will have no idea how it does in the spot in the course of 24 hours. If it's new to you, It could take two weeks in any position of the tank for it to really relax. Moving it at that point you would want to leave it 4 to 5 days in a spot to adjust to the flow.

Slow down homie.

To me that looks like a ticked off torch because it got knocked into the sand. Might do it from time to time when snails break them off of the glue

Hopefully that's all it is

Hope, but verify. Quickly receding tissue, strange inflation/deflation cycles, any off colored discharge on the flesh are all red flags.
