My tank is almost 12 months old. Everything is stable, and i dose all for reef on a doser everyday 40ml. My parameters are attached below. This black light torch used to be long flowly. Now it has very short tentacle. As you can see in the video. Its very strange. I know its splitting.


I dont see any recession or anything but i dont understand the tentacles situation. Very short. I cant tell if its stick since its not receeding nothing is peeking on it. All my other torches doing great. Its been in that state for almost a month now. My lights schedule/intensity didnt change. Ph the same everything else is..

the only thing different in my alk from this pic below is its at 9.3 instead of 10.2

It's hard to tell from the video, but it looks like there are pink dots just above the white flesh band (where the most retracted polyps are located closest to the camera). If you can inspect your torch, look out for red flatworms. They can irritate Euphyllia and make the them retract their polyps.

Here's a thread with a photo of what to actually look for, they are TINY. Dipping is very effective at getting on top of that issue.

Otherwise, your tank has grown in a lot and maybe flow is finally getting blocked by your happy growing colonies!
