torch care

I recently got this torch and I am wondering where I can move it after get adjusted to my water parameters. I would like to place it where those link zoas are or to the right of the rainbow bubble tip nem. But I fear of too much flow or light in either possible location. What do you think?

Hi! My torch seemed happy all week. This morning I noticed that one side is very swollen... has anyone seen this? Is it sick or could it be creating a new mouth?

Hey Guys, I recently set up a qt tank to deal with an ich outbreak in my Red Sea 250. Since then I've noticed that many of my Lps corals such as my torches and trachyphyllia have not been extending their polyps nearly as far as they have in the past. My zoas have also been affected with many of...

Hello all, I need help here my torch has been doing this the past few days. It stiffs up and retracts it’s tentacles half way. It doesn’t flow in the wave and this is all during the daylight cycle. The perimeters are: Nitrate 100ppm (salifert) Nitrite 1ppm (“) Mag 1120 added mag new number 1320...

CHECK OUT THE DEAL!

I got this coral about 3-4 weeks ago but it has never opened up big like the pictures of torches online. It still looks better than when I first got it, it was fully retracted rather than the little bush on top you see now. Is it sick? What can I do to make it more comfy? Sorry I dont know my...

Is my torch on its deathbed? It was nice and big for a while when it first entered the tank and then it began splitting. Photo coloring is terrible but there is no brown slime at the moment. The center does have this bubble look to it. I did dip this and all my other corals before adding It. All...

Hey everyone, So I have 5 torches in my tank and for the last week and half 2 have been acting strange and I'm not sure whats going on. The issue is a little hard to describe but some of the tentacles have been retracted and super reflective (almost bright white) and I'm not sure if it's just...

So I am not new to SW. I AM new to torches. We have 1 torch so far in my biocube. It’s doing great. I found a new friend who is selling me a Todds torch. Can it touch my firefly torch without coral warfare? It has way longer tentacles than mine. I’m not sure about the indo/Aussie and all that...

I have just added a small powerhead to my biocube 32 LED. I dont know the brand since it was gifted to me by my brothers. I have a super tiny hammer coral and a torch coral both in the tank. How much flow will they be able to stand? I am trying to increase the flow to help my zoa and fight a...

I have a biocube 32 Led and just got this torch Thursday. It looked a little stumpy in the store and has opened fully (that im aware of, since I've had it home). Is my torch getting proper flow here? I don't have a powerhead so I have my output nozzle pointed at the surface to create random flow...

I just got this torch a few days ago. It’s opening completely and the polyps away gently in the flow. I want to know if it’s ok in this spot before I glue it down. It’s on the corner in a biocube 32 led so it’s getting decent flow but not direct flow.

Hey guys. Im picking up my first torch coral tomorrow. Its a firefly torch and should be around the smaller size. I have a biocube 32 led tank I plan to put it in. I was wondering what kind of radius around my torch should I keep to prevent it from stinging anything? I have a hammer coral...

Hey everyone! Recently picked up a dragon soul torch and am having an issue with it opening up. It’s not curled up just closed. It was a frag that split and one head died but this head seems to look okay. (I’ll attach pics) just wondering for lighting and placement as it just doesn’t seem to...
