Naturally Grafted Torch

[CUSE1315]

I was fortunate enough to acquire this naturally grafted gods torch from Indo.

Does anyone else have naturally grafted torches? What has been the results of the formation of new heads?

Is that your photo?

Could we see it with the tents closed up?

 

[CUSE1315]

This is not my photo. I will be happy to post an updated photo of those for you later this week when it arrives here.

What’s the thought process for seeing it closed up?

I've never seen ( or heard of) a naturally grafted torch. The tentacles are obscuring most of the actual coral. I'd like to see what's going on under there.

I will post one up later this week. From what I was told its a one in thousands.

What would cause two torches to graft onto one another, naturally that is? It will be interesting to see what arrives. I've become a skeptic in this age of digital image manipulation.

There has been one naturally grafted torch before found in Australia.

There seems to only be one reference to it, and it's on Facebook.

I am not sure on the answer to that. I am also interested to see what comes of this.

I'll keep you all posted!

Anyone else think it's just a shaded head and the other half will color up when you get it in full light?

Doubt that if you look closely you can see that the purple-brownish colour is also present in the yellow region.

I’d think it would be more random then 50-50 but cool none the less..

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

Did you request any additional pictures? Of the skeleton or tissue perhaps?

 

[CUSE1315]

Hey All. It arrived. I’ll post the out of the bag photos below. These are all whites, 10k under radion gen 5. No filters.

Let me know your thoughts!

Interested to see how it grows.

Looks very stubby, for an indo variety.

Updated photo for everyone as it settles in a bit more.

We were fortunate enough to stumble upon a naturally grafted tiger torch (by mistake) from one of our suppliers. Didn't realize it until we unboxed it and let it settle in but you can clearly see the color split down a couple of the tentacles.

We haven't had it long enough to grow any new heads. Who knows what happens to torches like this as they grow out. I would imagine the colors would carry over to the new heads in whatever direction it decides to grow.

Keep us updated once yours grows out! Curious to see what happens as well!

Beautiful! One of the those tentacles is a perfect 50/50 split! Please keep us updated on this piece
