Seller is asking $200 each. If so, how hard are they to keep? I'm cheap and want the best chance of success.

Liking the teal tip DS variant. Nice price. I'd buy that if local.

Do you keep any other euphylia in your tank? I don't find torches hard to keep.
Currently just an orange frogspawn. Had bad luck with euphillia when I was just getting my feet wet. Thought my current frogspawn was just doing OK but just noticed a new head growing.

You’ll be ok, I had the same luck with a new tank my first torch ever got bjd. But it’s all good now

Maybe see if you can get one of each for 350. : )
He's got a ton of softies and zoas for $10 frags with multiple polyps. I'm just got to spend another $1-200 and have him make me a surprise pack. Just trying to decide which torch I want. Leaning toward the second one.

Are they local?

Just go see the torches in person and pick. Pictures can be misleading imo! Will be easier to decide which you like better in person.

Best advice. Corals oftentimes look much different in person and subsequently in your aquarium. Buy local when you can and view corals before purchasing.

If you are on the east side Oceans and Seas and Stingray Bay both had good amount of euphylia this week.
This is from a local reefer. I don't buy from stores or online anymore.
