Here are some of the species I believe may be commonly mislabelled.

Euphyllia cristata:

Euphyllia yaeyemaensis:

What are your guys thoughts on these? Have you ever purchased a hammer or torch that looked more like one of these?


Edit: These are just images I took from google. Hopefully they actually are labelled correctly!! :p

The first is a frogspawn, the 2nd is an octospawn, and the 3rd is a hammer.

Here's a cristata

I've been in the hobbie about 5 years and euphyllia have always been one of my favorite types of coral.
Lately I have been having issues with otherwise healthy looking heads receding and eventually dying off. I have about 8 different species (no torches) in close proximity to each other. They seem to recede from the base losing the white growth tissue eventually exposing their skeleton and dying.
It doesn't seem to be them stinging each other, at least not from what I can tell.
All parameters seem to be in check. I have several acros in the tank doing well, growing, maintaining good coloration, etc
Any ideas or tips?

I have had a move around since this photo was taken but I have about 10 differing Euphyllia ( no torches ) and 2 heliofungia that don't cause any issues with each other.

Since change around

Yes that's just one huge "Froggy" , this has grown from a one head frag I bought about 12 years ago and it has been fragged ( I had to frag it to get it out of the tank when I moved house and took about 30 heads from it )
