Tourch Coral, Limp

heh, define what you mean by "limp" like, just kind of sitting there (coral being motionless) ? If so, it needs more flow. It needs moderate flow so the tentacles are gently waving back and forth.

So if that's the problem just adjust some powerheads to correct the flow !

HTH,

actually they do go limp from time to time. well they have in my tank, it seems normal for them to do it for short periods of time regardless of flow.

What constitutes medium to bright light?

Are you using NO, VHO, PC, MH, what watts, etc.

A coral can go "limp" if it is disturbed by a fish or invert as well, but it should bounce back shortly afterwards.
