When you can't choose between two then the only logical thing is to get both :thumbsup:

The galaxy is a nice coral but there sweepers are probably the longest of any coral. They are like having a anemone they are so long. I had a blue one that had them well over half a foot long. So if you get it it needs tons of room. I ended up selling mine because of the sweepers. Euphyllia is my favorite also so I vote torch

Keep in mind that the galaxy will be brutally aggressive. I LOVE mine, it's easily one of my favorite corals in my tank, but it is one mean SOB. It will not allow ANY other cnidarian within half a foot of it. Even Aiptasia get brutalized if they wander too close.

Torch. Nicer shape, colors and tentacles.
