Is this actually a torch?

[Clarinuto]

This was sold to me as a torch, but it’s tentacles are thicker than my other torches so I wonder if it is actually frogspawn or something? I recently moved it over with my other torches and am concerned that if it was mislabeled, it’s going to die from the torches stinging it. Thanks for your help in advance

Yep. I believe it's the aussie torches that are thicker and indo are thinner/longer tentacles

Tonga torches are also a shorter tentacle, dont see as often so a sight to behold.

Can you get a pic while its retracted to see the skeletal structure? Euphyllia cristata will have a unique skeleton compared to euphyllia glabrescens

IMO euphyllia glabrescens, torch coral.

Okay great! Grapes and torches can be together also right?

There's always a risk. Torch corals can have a potent sting so keep a close eye.

Yikes. Good to know. I will definitely monitor them
