Aussie Gold Torch Question

[DarthSimon]

So just curious, I’ve never owned such a nice torch before. This is gold with blue tips. At the LFS it was getting much better extension. It's been in my display for about 48 hours.

Thoughts??
This is today:

This was at store:

I've had my torches do this too, I'm sure its the different flow and light. Give it some time.

So here is the golden torch after 3 days. Tentacles look very short. Not too much flow on it either. The other torches around it seem happy. As well as the Octospawn


Thoughts??

Should I move it or leave it be?

I have found when the tentacles look fat like that, that they arent getting much flow. Mine do that if i lower flow and get stringy when I get them to medium/high flow.

So you can see a baseline for my flow by the green torch right next to it. Does that look like enough flow?

Guys,
Is this torch an expensive torch?? I saw a post on Facebook that said it was a $30 per head torch, called "Cristata"??

It's an extremely expensive torch. Like, $200-300ish a head expensive. Cristata is a different type of torch with short tentacles. Also known as grape coral. Used to be pretty rare, but I'm seeing a huge uptick in them recently.

Looks pretty darn good to me. Mine looks almost identical. Maybe even shorter, with heavier flow. I have only had it for going on three weeks, though.
