Holy Grail or Holy Fake

[SaltyCrew4u]

Purchased from AquaSD about a week ago in person not online. Just ordered a orange lens so I'm still trying to figure out which lighting works best. These pictures don't do it justice. But I am open for opinions if you think it's a grail or some other torch.

Wouldn't be surprised. But again my pictures suck compared to what I'm actually seeing.

Agree that this is probably cotton candy. Pretty coral though! @VintageReefer?

How can I upload a video of the same pictures? I would be cool with a cotton candy if I didn't pay as much lol.

Typically holy grails have more yellow to them. This looks more like a cotton candy at least from the pictures.

These 2 are cotton candy. The second set are grails. Does yours look like any of these

When I'm physically looking at my torch the 2nd hands down. But with my phone brings out green a little more.

This lighting is the same as the pictures I posted. In person its almost gold with green. The pic quality sucks.

I'm definitely ready to call out my LFS if need be seeing they have probably 10 torches labeled grails.

You should see some yellow or gold in a holy grail, which it looks like in some of your first photos. How much yellow or gold depends on the coral, lighting and parameters. Green torches have absolutely no gold no matter what spectrum.

Compared your video to my cotton candy and yours is def more on the neon yellowish/green side compared to my cotton candy which is just neon green

Congrats ! I would say it’s some kind of a grail

Beautiful corals! Mine have gold, I have only had it a week. I'll let it play out and keep doing what I'm doing to see how it turns out.

Definetly looks like a grail, it has very faint hints of yellow. Certainly not one I’d purchase, as you always gotta look for that stronger yellow if you’re forking out big bucks for a grail

I agree

Not the grailiest grail I’ve seen but a grail none the less!

May color up a bit more in time after it settles in.

Again the video isn't the best quality. I truly do appreciate everyone on this forum. I am yet to have a negative experience. VintageReefer I'll try to send some better pictures. Always open to any feedback. Thank you to everyone!

So the one I purchased was listed for $1000 because they had it with two heads. Once I compared pics it was a single and they lowered it to $600. Labor day sale was 30% off and they added my military discount for a total of 40%. I paid roughly $350.
