Hi,
Just added a new Torch to my tank.
It has a line of tiny fan/ cup-like things beneath the flesh band.
My first worry was aiptasia but I saw one suddenly pop out like fan worms do. Do aiptasia do that?
Anyway here's a picture. Any advice on an ID and ignore/remove greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you are just acclimating but you need to move your torch off the sand and to a place where it will receive moderate random flow and moderate par. It has a very good flesh band, that’s a healthy torch.

Thanks, that's very helpful. Yes, it's only been in the tank since Saturday. I plan to move it up soon.
