Just looking for any info if possible. These aren’t the prettiest torches for sure, but I got both for 40 dollars total, and I couldn’t pass it up. They were listed as “Micronesian torch corals” on their label.

those torches look stressed. One of the heads is already dying. I would try an iodine or chemiclean dip to remove any bacteria. Also make sure they are not getting blasted with flow and that your fish/invertebrate aren’t running into them. Check your parameters. Low Magnesium can cause issues.

That picture is from the day I added them. No doubt they were not happy. Its been almost a month now. I was just curious if anyone had seen these before at a petco or anything. I know i didnt get ripped off or anything. I had just figured I would ask and see if anyone also had any luck with low tier torches like this.

They seem to be happy enough. The thing that bothers them the most is why my copperband steals mysis from them. Just a hazard of the livestock I guess. Ive realized they dont have the longest polyps for sure, Only about 2 maybe 3 inches long. This particular species definitely does not like much flow, I did learn that.
