Holy Grail Torch - Lineage

abbypoodle · Mar 15, 2021

Hello!

I am pretty fascinated by the Holy Grail torch and will probably get one once my tank has established long enough.

I understand these have been around for a few years and it seems like there is a wide range in lineage.

What other Holy Grail torch lineage is out there and how do they compare to what’s commonly available today?

CC 24K Holy Grail
ASD Holy Grail
Insert Vendor Here Holy Grail

I personally feel that CC 24K takes the top position but how does everyone else feel!

ASD is top dog in this one, IMO

There’s too many to name being that people make claim to them before growing them out. I know there are ASD, TCK, TSA. Sure there are more but most of those I’d say are improperly branded. Haven’t heard of CC I’ll have to check it out.

CC stands for a user here (Coral Cruze) and you’ll see references if you search back through some of the original Holy Grail posts on this forum and others.
It appears that his is one of the earlier ones, if not the original.

Really, we just know that these are Euphyllia glabrescens from Indonesia with a similar color theme.

ASD is top dawg

Totally subjective....seeing new imports coming in that look just as nice as “lineage” pieces.

I have 5 HG pieces with a 6th on the way this week. Half are with lineage...half are not. My favorite of the group is definitely one of the no namers.

The CC is the nicest that I have seen. I have a wild HG that looks just as good as the ASD or better.

I loved their EP, and enjoyed their first 2 albums, but after that they just kind of imploded IMO.

Here's the "OG Holy Grail." Definitely nice.

I recently seen CC 24K, ASD, and TSA all next to one another in a healthy tank from another member on here and the CC 24k reigned supreme

Beautiful but that looks like it’s a tweaked picture to me.

Very possible, I just found it online when I searched for OG Holy Grail.
