phew! false alarm... found him!
got the peppermint at RC so im fairly certain its legit. he's been snacking on my aptaisia problem too.. dont think camelbacks eat aptaisia. all is well, the torch has been located.. thanks everyone!

Where was it?

If the torch "moved" on it's own. It is not a torch coral, as they do not have a foot and lack the ability to move about.

it hopped off the frag and onto the shelf i had it on first and was all curled up, without the light on i couldn't see it. in the morning i moved the frag and saw it where the frag was originally.

what would it be if its not a torch? some sort of anemone? it didn't so much 'move' per-say, as it did detach from my frag and latch onto the rock shelf..

if its an anemone will i still have to be worried about my peppermint eating it?

You are Correct tlo. It is not a torch but a fogspawn
