So guys need little assurance on this one

My banana torch has this 1 tentacle which has a mind of its own.

I only see it in dark or at moon phase when rest of the tentacles shrink.

Is this normal for a torch, never seen this before.

So sweeper tentacle comes as 1 individual tentacle or they suppose to be on every tentacle?

The nearest coral is another torch (cotton candy) which is about 3 inch away

Do torches sring each other? I got cotton candy, banana, dragon soul at a 2-3 inch distance of each other

They can but its not typically an issue. When I put in a new torch the old one stick to it a bit at first if its close enough but no damage to either so far. That cotton candy can reach an octospawn too no damage to the octo or torch. Usually but not always "euphillia" are ok near each other. Years ago I had hammers torches and frogspawn touching no issues. When I came back everything had changed torch colors are off the charts, hammers too. I had heard the sting each other now...so far so good on my end.
