I have had these torch corals for about a 3-4 months and they have not been doing good at all only these two seem to not be doing the best but none of the torches look like they are the healthiest not sure what’s causing it.

for lighting I have two xr15 g6 at 50% on lps setting in my Red Sea 300xl

I dose every day for all elements and my current levels ar

ph 7.9
Alk 10.8 little higher than normal
Ca 500
Magnesium 1423
Temp 76.8 575B6A06-4AE6-4989-A451-22BDA09351BB.png 1A116253-2B98-46DF-82EF-56F78D09634C.png 4F40EED9-1BFB-4AC0-9F1B-9CB75FFED456.png 259F93BD-CF23-486B-AA78-E445D462C7FD.png 652678FB-5E82-4D24-8641-F6CB61EF5BE2.png

I have the same tank and lights. I run mine at 68% intensity. What are your nitrates and phosphate numbers? Recent ICP test? What flow? You have good coraline so things shouldn't be out of balance.

could it be the light intensity as the ones higher up are more open but not sure if it's just a coincidence? and ill get back to you on the nitrates and phosphates. for flow, I use red sea gyro wave 25 and some smaller heads.
