There could be any number of reasons why your torch isnt opening up as much., From lighting., to flow., to water parameters.,., If your clown fish is rubbing around in it that can certainly cause it to retract a little,.,, But bottom line is as long as its coming out at all its probably fine.

They like medium light medium flow., It should blow around a decent amount but not enough to where its being beat up by the current.

very slow, maybe 2 new heads in 6 months and 2 centimeters of the main heads in the same time?
