Torch or Hammer?

[John_A]

Not the best picture but what would you say this is?

 

[isaacfish]

It looks like a torch coral

 

[John_A]

Is it normal for just one head look like this? I was expected maybe a little poofy lol it's been like this since I added been about a month

Looks like a torch and no it doesn’t look normal. Good news is it has a good flesh band that doesn’t appear to be receding.

When I got it the one head was small like that I've had it for about a month or a little over not much change on the extension I'm wondering if I should move it into more water flow right now I would say it's light flow

Needs polyps extended.

I have both torch hammers, and frammers... a frogspawn hammer hybrid.
And when retracted, the all almost look the same.

So if I move it to higher flow it's go to be higher light as well

depends on how much flow your talking about.
If the flow is too strong and its receeded like that, you can tear off its flesh from the skeleton, and that would be the end of it.

Possible - probably not but possible - it’s a cristata

Total flow in my tank a 40 Breeder is 2 Jebao SOW-4 turned up full power on wave mode plus my return flow the tank I got the torch from had the same extension and was kept on the sand bed I have a Hammer higher up in the flow and it's doing good

Ya, moderate random flow is best. My torches get a little more than my frogspawn and hammers.

Well I moved it higher up on my rock work with more flow and it seems to be in the same state would you give it a couple days to adjust or lower it? Everything in the tank in the tank is good I think I may try and feed it some mysis and see if that helps Also my lights are 2 Nicrew 100s so hope those aren't too strong for it either

Euphyllia can take about a few days to settle into a new location.

Just keep an eye on it, and make sure its not losing any tissue.

My thoughts too

 

[John_A]

I know vermited snails suck but if the torch has some on its base would it case the under inflation? If so I do have a new tube of glue lol just would have to rebreak off the rock to do so

@John_A , why is cristata so funny? It's a type of torch...

Tank photos from today I hope it's not too much light I have seen alot of people put them in the sand
