I assume your talking about a torch (Euphyllia glabrescens) LPS coral. It just may be turning the color it's supposed to be. Their colors can vary.

The tentacles go that color when they retract.

A few of my heads of torch is doing that right now. My guess it is a feeding cycle?

 

[Scotty09]

Do u think it does this when it divides ?

 

[Gregcoyote]

Many corals do this when the propagate, but not sure about the Torch coral. I think it was a feeding cycle as it only lasted an hour. It expelled small amount of some nasty looking brown stuff, then redeployed.

 

[Scotty09]

No it's been a week ?

 

[Gregcoyote]

That doesn't sound good. They are sensitive to the right current flow, you might try moving him.

It been there happy for months I spoke to my lfs guy he knows bout my tank and I battling with hair algae and I put no supplements in for months he suggested it may be that what do u think

 

[Gregcoyote]

I must admit I don't know. Too many variables...
