short Torch

I have had a torch for some time now, and its done okay. One head split into two sort of....it has two mouths......

The tentacles aren't very long though, two inches at most. This came off of a very large colony of my brothers.....when it was in his tank, the whole colony had very very long tentacles.

No matter what lighting (PC or MH) or where I put it in the tank, I can't get the tentacles to extend any farther than that.

Any ideas?

Robbie

Maybe, but I keep hearing the opposite.....more flow will make them extend.

I'll have to give that a try.
