    I was doing a water change this am and accidentally caught my torch coral in my siphon hose. Several of it's tentacles were ripped off. Will they grow back?

    They come off real easy...I have just cleaned the glass near them and some will come off. Yes it will be fine.

    Cool man thanks. I usually just siphon water out of my sump but I was in a hurry to get to the lake today. I'll never do that again.
