    My torch coral looks awful this morning :( I don't know how to explain it.. I'll take a picture and post it but it just hasn't been coming out lately all the way and some of its tips are enlarged.. its stressed out. WHAT should I do :( should I move him... hight to the light? lower.. he's just chillin in the sand bed now and he has always been fine there. should I move him with less/ more water flow...? helllllp me save him.

    I HATE when that happens! One of my corals wasn't right this morning either.:angry:

    How long have you had it? Have you added anything new to your tank? (thinking maybe hitch hikers?)

    How much flow is on it? If it's anything like your avatar, it looks to be a bit much to me.

    Here is a picture.. you can see some of it is all white and shriviled up.. and I moved the bubble coral further away to give him some more space... parts of him are kind of floating away.. looking all dead. I just want the rest of him to survive

    I have had it for about a year I just added a cardinal fish.. but he hasn't been bothering it much. He is in the sand bed it shouldn't have too much flow a moderate amount. I should go check my prams.. I did a water change last week 20 %
