Torch in trouble??

Hey all, everything seemed to be fine this morning, but when I took a peek tonight, my torch coral is all shriveled up, and pieces of the tips of the tentacles have fallen off and are on the sand. Obviously at night it closes up, but this is much different. Temp is 78, SG 1.026, ammonia 0, phos 0, KH 7, Calc 420, nitrate 5, PH 8.0

One suggestion would be to check your flow. Mine will deflate a little if the powerhead directed at it gets clogged with algea or snails.

Yes I would say to check your flow if your numbers are right. Mines likes flow
