Is there a special name for torch?

[saltbubbles]

On my wishlist is torch coral, not the one with short stubby tentacles, but the one with long tapered ones. Is there any specific name to it or is it just torch? Or are they the same and it just depends on water flow?

Is does depend a lot on water chemistry, lighting, and flow.

All Euphyllia, like they said above and just like anemones they just change shape depending on anything and everything, mine went from stubbier to long tentacle over the course of about 3-4 months.

Edit: If im not mistaken that first picture could possibly be of a fungia plate that looks similar in style to a torch. Fungia plates that have long tentacle that Ive seen usually appear to have almost "fat" tentacles that are stubbier in some cases.

That first picture is a torch.
You are thinking of heliofungia

just my 2 cents, but if you want something to guarantee look like that I would suggest a tube anemones.

Heliofungia, yup thats what I meant.

As far as tentacle projection goes; mine definatly likes aLOT of flow.
