Torch Unhappy but other Euphyllia are fine?

[89Foxbody]

Hi all, like the title suggest, my torch has been unhappy for about a week now. None of the tissue is dying off, but it just stays very compact. The tentacles are not deflated...but it used to be very full and swayed in the current. Now it is mostly retracted. Color is still great. No visible skeleton. My hammer and frogspawn are doing amazing, though. They are growing very quickly. I have moved him around the tank multiple times. More light, less light, more flow, less flow. It's one of my favorite pieces, so I hope he comes back to his former glory. Just seeing if anyone had any input.

Can you share some before and after pictures. Also, maybe share some of your parameters.

From my experience, my torch is affected quickly by temperature changes. I don't know what your setup is like, but if it is getting colder where you are and the heater is not keeping up well enough, it may be impacting it.

It may also be something to do with parameters. The fact that the hammer and frogspawn are fine, doesn't necessarily means that there is nothing wrong, it may just mean that it takes those two longer to feel the impact.

If you can share some more, I'm sure the guys here can provide a more targeted feedback.

I find my torch gets upset when Alk drops, everything else looks good but the torch is the first to get upset with any changes in the water chemistry.

my torch was the first to have issue also. In my case it was lack of flow, over feeding, and skimmer not working combined. I could see my corals not happy as the rocks started having poop buildup, but torch started dying first.

did some massive wc, increased flow and put a new skimmer. everythings fine now. Lost 2/4 heads on the torch.
