Difference in corals

[Aidan_823]

Hi, random question. How do you tell the difference between a torch, leather and nems

Leathers will generally look like a mushroom with little hairs on top. They can have a grainy appearance to them.

Torches don't really have an oral disc like anemones do, as in you can usually see the spaces between the tentacles on most anemones with a clear mouth in the middle. You almost never see the mouth of a torch when it's open. The most obvious thing if you can touch the animal is to see if it has a hard skeleton or not. Torches have one, anemones don't.

By googling photos of them?

The things you asked about are all completely different of one another what’s the reasoning your asking do you have them or just curious? Do you want to buy them?

If you really want to learn about corals and how to differentiate between them i could recommend a couple books specifically written for hobbyists... anemones aren't corals though

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be cheeky, but if someone has the ability to ask that question on a forum, they have the ability to do some basic research online...
