Just got home from work and my hellfire is looking like this. Is it a dying? Any advice would be appreciated. Water levels are all good. I've had it in my tank for almost 2 weeks now and this is the first time I've seen it like this.

The parameter seems good. Can you make sure it’s not brown jelly on the flesh of the torch? It could be pooping...

The more I look at it the color is turning greyish. I have other frogspawns and hammers and they all look great.

So I moved it to the the back of the tank. Lower flow lower light. Tentacles seem to be coming out and I see better color (don't know if that's because of the blue lights coming on). Crossing my fingers it gets better. This is one coral that I really wanted.

To me it looks like it’s pooping. I would just watch it for a few days see if it looks better. Do you feed it regularly? If so then I would assume it’s just taking a big dump lol.
