That’s great ! This is a pretty exotic torch I have so I’m glad it’s doing well.I have a branching hammer that has quite a few like that sprouting off.
It’s growing fast so I’m doing something right. I just never thought that this is how a torch grows.Awesome! Those are little polyp babies! Those will grow into branches.
Great job! Congrats!It’s growing fast so I’m doing something right. I just never thought that this is how a torch grows.
I've heard of that happening to fungia. It wouldn't surprise me if that happened with a torch.Back to the original question though guys have any of you ever had a dead head of a torch grow back because this is proof that the calcified body is actually alive?
Me too but this has me baffled , makes me wonder how many corals have this ability and should we leave things that we consider dead in the tank be in hope that a miracle happens.I've heard of that happening to fungia. It wouldn't surprise me if that happened with a torch.

That’s interesting, now I’m feeling dumb for throwing away “dead” coral. So it seems like torches can bud and split heads to reproduce, I wonder if pinching heads uses less energy so we see that more often in these corals.I had a hammer frag that had polyp bail out due to too much flow. I left the skeleton laying on the sand bed and it started sprouting new heads all along the skeleton. Currently have 9 tiny new heads growing. I would imagine a torch could do the same.
For sure. Best of luck with it!!That’s great ! This is a pretty exotic torch I have so I’m glad it’s doing well.

Can you post a picture please?I have the exact same thing happening to a hammer colony of mine right now.

Sorry it’s a terrible phone picture but there are two buds hereCan you post a picture please?
This is hands down the rarest torch I’ve ever seen/owned , it’s half purple and half green split right down the middle.Wow I've never seen that happen before. Pretty interesting. Is that torch really pink like that? Or is it the lighting?
Wow sounds awesome, post a pic when you can. Also where'd you find it?This is hands down the rarest torch I’ve ever seen/owned , it’s half purple and half green split right down the middle.
Sure here you go , kinda hard to see because of the purple tentacles but that is one head half purple half green, some of the tentacles towards the center have purple stripes. Got it from corals.com according to them this was the only one they could get and they don’t know when or if their supplier will release more.Wow sounds awesome, post a pic when you can. Also where'd you find it?
