Pardon my density but what's a Todd's torch and who's a you-know-who? (Sorry, RC has too much traffic for me to keep up with, so I don't even try to keep current on all the forums in here..)

great link!

great link!

holy smokes- pix from Todd's reef meet at the U of R

IMO this pic by Keith best illustrates what "Todd's Torch" looks like

 

[delphinus]

Mmm, nice. Thanks for the explanation!

Could you please unabreviate the salt you used and link to the thread about it. Like somebody above said I don't always have time to see everything on here. Thanks and the fish do look great and good luck with re-stocking it.

You guys think this is the "same" torch?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

that looks like jnarowe's torch to me

seriously though... it's a very similar looking morph of the same coral.

Nice torch(euphylia glabrescens). Todd's torch is more of a lime green.

 

[jnarowe]

Well, I really liked it and it got extremely long tentacles when it went into my display. It was like a PLTA only green...unfortunately, my system does not support LPS very well and over time I lost that colony. I am still sick about it because it did so well and grew nicely for about 6 months, into an amazing specimen.

Oh well, I have fond memories of ex-girlfriends too!

metallic lime green.
retailers often use the term metallic to describe such Euphyllia morphs.

Mine looks more nuclear or radioactive:lol:

 

[dan10342]

we should just call it TOXIC torch

 

[tmz]

Keep working on the name. The better the name the more expensive the specimen in todays collectible orineted market. lol

"lady liberty"

 

[nate82]

i think we should just open a thesaurus and change all of our corals names to the longest smartest sounding adjectives we can find

Love the new avatar Gary! New addition?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

:lol:
it's a temporary avatar. I resized it for somebody and I'm waiting for them to copy it. I had hoped to remove it before somebody thought I placed a Moray in my reef!
FWIW I completed another 50 gallon water change today. There can only possibly be scant traces of CS in my aquarium now and everything is looking much better- including a very nice Torch

Woah that is a bummer Gary. I am sorry to see what happened to your reef. I am grateful that you shared you experience though. I was talking with another SPS guy and he was thinking about switching salts but after seeing the risk I think I will stick with IO and I bet he will too. On a positive note your Angelfish, and Achilles Tang are looking awesome. Those are my two favorite fish! I wish my tank was bigger so I could get them. Very nice photo of them too.
