    [​IMG]Hello everyone, you know in this hobby there are many disappointments, failures and sometimes out right catastrophies, so when things are good and coral are thriving and fish and inverts are content, those are the times we enjoy the most. So, here is a success story I want to share. I got this Torch coral about, I want to say, 8 mos. ago. It had 5 heads and was mis-priced at $35.00. The LFS told me since it was their mistake the price stood so I jumped on it. Well, it now has 12 heads and looks great! It is nice to see it flourish. Here are a couple pics. Thanks for reading.

    excellent - i've never seen a torch that big, nor have i ever actually managed to get a euphyllia to actually properly grown new heads! Congrats!

    Thanks everyone. Well, JM, the Toad stools are having a hard time with the chemical warfare. It is a challenge to keep mostly all soft coral.

    Beautiful torch. Great job with it. That is the first coal I will be getting when my tank is a little more stable.
