Cotton candy torch - one head less happy than the other

[Alexander1312]

Maybe not a great video to demonstrate this but this two head cotton candy coral has one head seemingly less happy then the other (left, less extended than right). What could be the reason?

Kalkwasser?

J/K couldn’t resist

It looks happy enough in the video, just not as large?

Is it splitting?

I promise we can rule this out .

Maybe it is as simple as this. It just seems to close up quicker and more frequently while the other stays extended for most of the day.

Looks like one head is not liking the kalkwasser. Oh wait, that was already brought up. Maybe one head is stinging the other. That side of the torch could just be cold.

Ok, got those out of my system. Sometimes one head doesn't get as much flow, or a fish comes by and makes it shrink. Bacteria can be a culprit, but overall randomness is usually it.

They both look happy, I wouldn't mess with anything.

Wow! You guys are clearly reaching and have no clue what you're talking about. Clearly it's that one head is exposed to more CO2 than the other head and has a bubble of localized pH drop surrounding it.

I've definitely lost polyps on the side before on torches for whatever reason (different flow, less light, sometimes mid split). Torches are mysteries to me.
