Hello,

Some of my torches polyps appear swollen at the ends. Hopefully visible in pics, is this bad? What causes this?

Ive had a dragon soul torch in my tank for about 3 months now. It's very healthy and has grown a few more heads. My torch polyps look exactly like yours. Not all of them but a bunch definitely have little bumps here and there like your picture shows. I don't think it's anything and just how some torches are.
 
Look fine to me. Mine does this from time to time and it has been there for a year now. If you see any other signs of change, I would run carbon and check parameters.
