I don't think #2 is a torch. Can you get a pic of it when it's closed?

 

[ricky1863]

Nice tank! Were the corals in #2 hitch hikers? I just found them in the overall tank picture. How big is each head? They don't seem very big. I don't think it's a torch either. Cool, though.

each head is a little bigger than a quarter and yes they were hitchhikers under the actinics and the moonlight the tips glow green

That is a picture of a small colony that I have in the tank. I think the rock is about 6x4.
You want to make sure you space these colonies away from other sessile invertebrates. Their stinging sweeper tentacles are long and deliver a real wallop to animals that can't move away.(Including other corals as well)
Also give them medium flow. No need to feed them either.(Light is the best for Galaxy)
Water changes will give them what they need also.
I placed mine in the middle front corner of my reef.
