Hello,

Is there anything I can do to make my torch happier? It's tentacles are probably about 1 inch long when the polyp itself is about 4 inches across. Not going to chase anything, but if I can change something to make them happier i'm all for it! It just looks abit funny with it's huge head and short tentacles

They look fine to me. They could just be like that. Have you seen them longer on your specific specimens?

That said, lowering light intensity can make them puff up and reach more but thats not necessarily in their best interest.

Well I believe it's some sort of holy grail, and i've never seen an aussie holy grail, only ever indo and if i'm right indos have really long tentacles, I see the same colouration of torches with super long tentacles, like literally 5/6 inches
 
Your torch looks great. Don’t change a thing
 
Looks fine to me, my corals have there days where they look a little different. but then back to what we consider norm.

I personally feel corals dont always look there best but if things are stable no need to panic :)
