Torch tentacles looking Weird

[Holst]

Hi R2R..

Why is my Yellow tippes torch’s arms looking this weird.. Like they have bumbs and stuff..

Is the other smaller torch stinging it?

It's not uncommon with Euphyllias to look this way from time to time. I have a frogspawn that does this once in awhile yet looks fine the next day without any changes on my part. If your parameters are in check I'd just keep an eye on it for now. Check your ALK quick to make sure it's ok. Duncan corals, while not Euphyllias, are notorious for looking oddly from time to time without explanation. Their tentacles are capable of the exact same contortions. There's still alot we don't know about these guys. If the two torches have been touching for a while than I doubt it would show signs suddenly. There doesn't appear to be any visible tissue damage from stings.

Okay, thank you for your reply.
The two torches has been together for a month or two, but I will keep an eye on it ! :)

This is still an issue with the torch, I have tried to move it a bit, but it's close to another torch that is big with long beautiful tentacles. ?
I tried to dip it to see if it was infected with flatworms etc. but nothing..
Anyone got any ideas, or is it just a freak that I got ? :P

I found this happens to mine when I change the flow suddenly or move its location.

Its like the tentacles need to re-acclimate. Within a day or two they return to normal.

In that case I would suggest relocating it. Its possible its getting beaten up by the current and doesnt like it.

Some torches prefer very strong current, some not so much.
