    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Euphyllias can come in many shades, it looks other wise healthy.

    But Cam you know better than to listen to the LFS guy unless proven otherwise.

    Detectable Ammonia=No addition of any live stock.

    Get some Prime and or MB7 for the futrure

    it doesn't look horrible and looks like it will fine but I don't believe there is any such thing as a healthy white, photosynthetic coral. That's sorta like a "solid white sebae anemone". They aren't healthy.

    I love torches too... I have 3;D I've seen some white ones around one of my better lfs's lately. Not 100% sure they are supposed to be that color, but they look healthy. I would check it during lights out. So long as its not receding into its skeleton I would think it should be okay. IMO they are usually pretty good at showing their displeasure this way. Even if you do see this, no reason to worry unless you see brown slime. If its not supposed to be white it should color up with a little TLC and good params

    Thanks everyone for all the advice. The only reason I trusted the LFS was because of how honest and helpful they have always been :-/ I guess it's also partially my fault because I figured that since everything in my tank was doing fine, then I could add some more corals.

    The Torch seems to be fine during the day and isn't retracting into the skeleton at night, so have no reason to believe that it is unhealthy :)

    Thanks :)

    So I superglued the Rhodactis to one of the rocks, but a little dab of the glue got on the coral. Is it going to be okay?
