Up close with my torch

[bterry29]

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be thriving in my tank. There is something on one side of it that comes out and goes back in. It is like a tube with white fealers. The fealers come out then go back in as though it is breathing. Anyone know what it is?

Sounds like a barnacle to me.
Nice Torch!

Feather duster? Tube Anemone? Aptasia? Can you get a pic?

Very nice pic and coral. Are torches hard to keep?

goldrush - I tried to get a picture but with the waving of the torch I couldn't get a clear picture of it. I'll try again.
GobyInPeace - Since I'm new at this I may not be the best to ask but from what I've read it is a good coral for a beginner. I haven't had any difficulties with it. It seems to be doing very well.

I had a torch that had 2 barnicles on it. One was in the part where the torch came out and one was on the side. I believe that is what is on yours. Good luck with your piece.
