Thanks!

For the size thing just to be safe is the measurement referring to the skeleton size? Or when it's fully expanded. Only reason I ask is sometimes you can buy an open brain, torch coral or other LPS coral at a small size and they can easily expand to twice their size in a few days, the only thing constant is the skeleton, so I'm assuming that's what we should be measuring?

IMO for things like torches ETC it should be per head. this is how they are sold. and i have one with 6 legs on the skeleton but only 3 of the legs have coral. it does however have about 12 heads. but again it comes down to honor as without being able to veiw it close up it would look like 3 heads in a pick. im not using this piece as i just took it out of my other 10 as its sweepers could reach almost 3/4 the way accross the tank.

JL and LA both sell them by size according to their websites. JL Aquautics

Since we are using them for alot of pricing, might as well measure them as such.

So are we to measure estimated full expanded size then or just skeleton? I'm good with any method just want to know which one to follow.

With torch, frogspawn, and hammer per head is fine but not all of these corals are branching style you can also get ones that grow from a single head.
