Help me choose.
2.5 in green torch
5 in green (and pink) galaxy coral.

Bot are the same price.

When you can't choose between two then the only logical thing is to get both

The galaxy is a nice coral but there sweepers are probably the longest of any coral. They are like having a anemone they are so long. I had a blue one that had them well over half a foot long. So if you get it it needs tons of room. I ended up selling mine because of the sweepers. Euphyllia is my favorite also so I vote torch

What is the torch corals growth rate like?

sublime9182 · 07/27/2014, 06:19 PM

And I only have a 46 gallon so the galaxy is out. Thanks for advice

Keep in mind that the galaxy will be brutally aggressive. I LOVE mine, it's easily one of my favorite corals in my tank, but it is one mean SOB. It will not allow ANY other cnidarian within half a foot of it. Even Aiptasia get brutalized if they wander too close.

Torch. Nicer shape, colors and tentacles.
