Euphyllia Cristata (Grape Coral). Lets see em!

[SamMule]

Mine have been slow growing compared to the rest of my euphyllia. Might have 1-2 more heads starting, while the rest of my euphyllia has at least doubled in the same timeframe.
They are really happy though in about 200PAR and moderate to low flow.

So how big (tall and wide) is it now after 2 years? I just bought a little one - maybe a bit smaller than your original picture, and am trying to figure out growth trajectory for placement.

I would say about 4 inches square

I've had this for about 2 months. Was sold as a torch but I later found out it was definitely cristata. Other than a teal tip cristata, I'm not sure what it's called.

What do you think? Torch or cristata. I got it cheap from local lfs had brown jelly disease and lost all but 2 heads... They sold it as a torch. I've had it for 5 days now

Don't see these much. Just got my first one yesterday. It hasn't opened yet, but I will get pics later when it does.
Who else has one to share?

Lots of ppl have them, it’s the poor mans and torch.

Bear in mind cristara corals have some of the longest sweepers of all euphyllias-I have seen 5 inches off of a tiny 1 inch heads.

Torch for sure. It's just in bad shape and un happy. Good luck with the remaining two heads.

Well, half is opening a little. The other half is still closed.

May be getting too much water flow. Offer moderate light and assure salinity/alk/ph/nitrate are not high
