torch coral

hi,
bought a torch at the weekend and has expanded to the point at which it was in the lfs.
just wondering if it will ever have the long polyps that i long for

many thanks
jase

How much flow is the coral getting? Torches won't really "relax" when they are in a high flow area...

Most likely, yes. Give it time.

flow is low just enough to gently waft the polyps. it is situated to the right of a 150w halide and at the bottom of the tank ( around 24" in height ) so i would say a low/ medium light

Different corals have different charateristics. Some torches have long tenticales, some short, some have fine polyps others have thick. BTW, my yellow torch is right next to a blue one and it never opens more than the blue.
