How do people get long extension on their torch corals? I've got mine in good lighting and flow but they don't get that wet spaghetti in water appearance!

Well Aussie torches don’t get that long stringy look. Indo torches will and health and flow is what usually makes them look that way.

You might have an aussie, they are just as beautiful just not long tenticals. :)

And to be honest that's not the worst or bad thing. Torches and any euphyllia send out sweeper tenticals at night that go much longer than the ones we see during the day. They stretch put and "attack" other corals in their reach.

Super cool to watch tho!!
