Sold as a frogspawn but don't think so. Is it a torch or a cristata? Can it be next to other torches? I know torches cannot be next to frogspawn or hammers.

It actually looks more like a Euphilia cristata instead of a Torch but I would still keep it away from any other euphilia just in case.

I see no septa for it to be a cristata. With that close of a shot of the mouth, the plates would be very visible. Not a hammer. Probably not a frog. Could be a torch coral of some kind. Let it settle in and show how far it will extend. Can't say if it is aussie or indo. GL

Def not a cristata. You can always see the septa in mine unless it’s really waving.

I like the cristata better. Kinda like a torch but takes up way less room than my torches. Just wish we had more colors of them here locally
I know cristata are supposed to be able to go with torches, but my touched did not roll out the welcome mat. I had to have it placed upstream because a few torches got frisky.

I have mine in a cristata/acan focused tabk. I don’t let my torch touch anything but zoa. Ans only because zoa are too stupid to die

Beat me to it.

Torches are at the kids table of murderers compared to the terrorist AA&T Bubble coral

Beautiful assassin! I want a pearly. I see they are coming in with a variety of patterns. I just had a normal pearl way back when. The green looks awesome too!

I had to dedicate an entire 2'x2' end of the new tank to the bubble just to segregate it and stop the body count.
