Get some nudibranchs! Saltyunder ground is where I get mine, they totally clean them up! Takes a little while, but very effective!

Petition to stop calling them aptasia and start calling them brown torches.

Step 1: Change name
Step 2: Profit

You will be able to find this torch labeled under a few different names.

There is an aussie version called snake eyes.

There are a couple indo versions called black torch, dark torch or purple torch.

The green mouth on this one has gotten really green lol

I started a nano “euphyllia” garden but it’s mostly hammers, 2 frogspawn 1 Goni 1 anemone. I only have 1 torch and a booger frag. I bought it as 1 head but it came with 2 heads. The free head was splitting but half of it already rotted away and the other half was like a deflated shiny ballon. I think I saved it by dipping in coralrx and removing the decaying half.

Are there any fish that nip/snack on these?

Are there any fish that nip/snack on these?

All the usual coral eaters will also snack on torches...like trigger, parrot fish, etc.

Some angels will nip on them...we had a flame angel and it started to nip after about 6 months.

We had a butterfly who left he body alone for the most part but would nip the tips of the tenticles. He also ate a lot of meats

Our tangs every once in a while will also nip at the tips but I think they think it's food particles when I feed. The butterfly would just swim and snack on the tips.

Careful of clown as well as they will snuggle up in a torch colony and smother it to death.
