Hi guys..

I got this piece of short tentacle torch for about a month of time.

Previously i been placing it on below standing upward, instead of the current position, but both location the tentacle just extend until this limit.

Is this common? Or i still have to continue to switch a desirable place for it?

Current place is under strong light, mid flow.

Looks like a torch frag to me.
I’d just leave it be for 6 months.
They absolutely hate being touched or moved.

Flow can greatly effect the length of the tentacles. With that said, some do just have short tentacles. Yours looks healthy, I wouldn't sweat it.

This is how my torch looked as a frag. It just took time, and eventually the tentacles grew. Give it a few weeks or months.
