Torch coral question.

[BigBarnacles]

I put a healthy torch coral in my aquarium yesterday. Today one of it's 3 heads has retracted it's polyps and has a mostly clear appearing slime covering it. The slime goes all the way down to where it's base meets the substrate. It's in an area of medium indirect flow and not yet under too strong of light. The other two heads appear to be fine. Is this normal just 14 hours after being placed in the tank? Should I do anything or wait it out a few days? I'm wondering if it's a normal stress response. What do you think? By the way, all of my water parameters are within normal limits.

Anyone have a thought?

Ah well, one of the heads died. I moved the torch up a bit higher and there's a big more flow there. We'll see how it fares.

Bummer, hope your luck improves. It'll rebound.

Thanks. It's my first torch. My acans, zoas, and ricordeas are doing good so I figured the torch would do good as well. Unfortunately for the torch it's a learning experience for me. I'm just hoping the other two heads survive.
