Gold torch Id?

[Andresnyc93]

Was given this by a fellow Reefer when he fragged the colony he had in his tank and just wanted to know the correct name for this torch so in the future when it grows I can know how much they’re worth.

thanks!

If he indicated it was a gold torch then it's probably a gold torch. I'm not astute enough to differentiate between an Aussie or Indo gold torch - only that it looks like a gold torch and isn't say a dragon soul torch.

Assuming it survives long enough for you to frag it, the frags will be worth less than what a comparable LFS sells them for (as is generally the case for private sales).

Yeah I bet. The overcharge in my state is pretty wild. I saw a RBTA the other day in a store in Manhattan, $150 per anemone. Couldn’t believe my eyes

That's not necessarily unrealistic, depending on the size. I paid $350CAD (about $275USD) fora nice Colorado Sunburst anemone, and the last RBTA I purchased I got for $150CAD (about $120USD). I'm also waaaay out in the middle of nowhere in the prairiea.

For my state that is very unrealistic, if you drive about 10 minutes north you can find the same type of anemone for about $70-80 tops. I guess their rent prices have to be factored in somehow.

in my state you pay $10-35 for RBTAs. More for the fancy varieties. unless you buy from a LFS.
