Torch Spacing

[thesauce]

Wanted to get everyone's opinion on this...I have had a torch garden for about 8 months, they are relatively close to one another and have been very healthy. Had a Holy Grail shrivel up and shed heads today...I have always read that same species could touch....

Is this not the case? I am wondering if maybe aggression from other nearby torches caused this?

It could definitely be aggression from another one but they are just very sensitive at times!!
I lost one last night from moving it to spots I thought was very, it was a super happy one until I decided to move it lol

They also hate a change of salinity.

Generally, different colors indicates different photobiologies and concurrent differences in immune responses. I'd be looking at water chemistry and shifts in microbial stuff. If you didn't do an Aquabiomics test some time ago as a benchmark I'd still suggest getting one done to help get an idea of what's going on
