I have a 2 heads green torch coral, similar to this pic https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/...7zvZm3Ae-SKgQ1pWfpwEYp7gIVE0Sh9_HPVPfC1AqsfPg. I'm in South San Jose. PM me if you are interested.

Nice coral! Where did you find it?
I know I sound like a snob but were you able to trace the lineage back to the original "Todd's Torch?" The reason I ask is because I have seen much longer and thinner tentacles on other Todds Torches.

I'm located in Rochester, NY and finding Todd's Torches in all the local reef shops. Some real some not. This particular piece came from a trustworthy shop and good friend.
The head is slightly bigger than a quarter. So its got a lot of growing to do
To your point yes, I have seen larger heads that are much MUCH longer. This little guy is still getting use to the lights and flow in my tank.
Let me know if you are having a hard time locating one in your area. I can PM you the contact info for my local shop. I'm sure he will hook you up.

I appreciate that. If I can't find something local in the next few weeks I will take you up on your offer.
Meanwhile, good luck with your torch, it is a beauty.

I remember back in the day i had a huge hammer coral colony. Probably about 30 head and the size of a football. Some of the heads were green tipped and some of the other heads were purple tipped. Really cool morph/ Wonder where that piece ended up.
FWIW, I have a green torch (no idea if it has a fancy name) that had SUPER LONG tentacles in my old tank, I have the same torch that I moved to my new tank and it has never had the same extension. Not sure if its the flow, or the lighting or what :-/
but anyway, just because the extension isn't the same doesn't mean it isn't that same.
These morphs are really cool. I just picked up a hybrid frogspawn that has green/pink tips, pink tips, and all green tips. So far, even though frogspawns arent the sexiest corals, it might be my favorite.
I also just nabbed a really cool coral from Salty Underground which is like a orange/Indo rainbow looking hybrid frogspawn/hammer. Lisa called it a "frammer" but it is not as pronounced as some of the other frammers I have seen.
You're right, no doubt about it. I was just asking because I have seen many people complain about being misled and or scammed outright trying to buy a "Todd's Torch." I guess we can agree that this particular coral is no exception when it comes to opportunistic hobbyists. This type of activity usually increases alongside the price of the coral. I have seen the price jump on these to levels at or above what you'd typically pay for golds.
