    The largest bud of my torch coral is looking limp, my params are good but I was wondering if it could do with the amount of light it is getting or how much I am feeding it. Can anyone divulge some info on torch corals for me?

    First, a little more information on your parameters please – needs the specifics in case you are omitting an important test.

    What is the torchs proximity to other corals? This coral will inflate at night and can reach much further than you may expect. He will not want a lot of light – how long have you had this coral? They do not respond well to swings in parameters including PH, temp and salinity. I think weekly feedings are sufficient, how much do you feed him now?
