Joker torch

[PghReef]

Who has aussie joker torches?

I love euphyllia but have only ever had frogs, hammers, frammers, etc.

Never owned a torch. I guess back in the day they just weren't the "cool" coral and my lfs would basically beg you to buy a head for $5. Then i took a hiatus from the hobby and the bans set in followed by torch fever. I couldn't justify spending that insane money on something I remember so vividally passing up a million times and a coral that you couldn't give away. Well after a few years back on the hobby I want to add a torch to my mixed reef and euphyllia collection.

So who has aussie joker torch? I believe it might also go by a few other names, but the dark tentacles whitefish tips and Neon centers seems to be the calling card of this variety. How hardy are they? How fast do they grow and split?

I used to have them, jokers are one of the hardier torches and cheaper in general, would be a good choice to dip your feet into Euphyllia

I have other euphyllia just not torches. I have a purple/green Branching hammer that grew from 2 to 4 heads and a Branching green Frogspawn that has grown from the 3-5 head piece I bought to a pretty massive 14 headed colony over the last year. Recently bought an aussie yellow hammer, was 2 heads and looked amazing for a few weeks but then over night 1 head melted away and i had to frag off the healthy head. Not sure what happened there.
I also have an elegance that I've had for over a year that has done pretty well. I had it blasted with too much flow for awhile so it suffered some tissue regression but seems to have been growing and expanding great the past few months since feeding once a week and shielding some of the direct flow it was getting.
