New torch coral today!!

I hope it grows and does well. I was off work today and got to stay home and watch my tank more then usual and really enjoyed it. I discovered what looks like a tiny torch head growing out the bottom of a head that had been cut off. This might be dumb but I counted the number of tentacles on it, don't know if more tentacles means it growing, it has nine right now ha. My smalles clown fish won't leave the torch, it loves it and is defending it from the hermits and turbo snails actually knocking a snail on it's back. I hope the clown doesn't hurt the torch the way it darts out to take out things approaching it, it won't even let the bigger clown come near it, when it does the small clown acts like it's having a seizure and pushes away the bigger clown
