    So this small guy was floating around the sand bottom- I have a gsp and torch, is this off of those or something different? It is less than a quarter inch-

    Can you put it in a little tupperware container with tank water and get a clearer picture?

    Torch polyp (likely from polyp bailout). If you can keep him from floating around and getting lost in the tank, he'll grow his own skeleton.

    the torch looks really healthy, would it have polyp bailout when healthy? And how best to attach it, just a quiet area in a rock?
