Holy grail

How do you tell if a Holy Grail torch is legit?

If you are in Orlando you just hop in the car and get off on OBT... Go see the guys at WWC and get one from them since I believe they are the ones that named it. Other than that, you would have to trust the seller since there are a few similar strains floating around.

Usually its green base with bright yellow tentacles and purple to blue tips. I've seen a few variations. Did you buy one? Post a picture.

So local fish store has one of these in there display tank and says he would sell a head to me if I wanted one. He says this is a Holy Grail Torch. Can anyone verify or express opinion.

Anybody know if this is truly considered a holy grail or not. Don't want to get duped

Nothing holy about that torch lol. Looks like a indo or dragon soul at the most.

Thanks, what is the value for a head of Dragon Soul or Indo

The lighting looks pretty white in that pic, a lot of holy grails are taken with heavy blues. I've never seen a holy grail in person though.

Varies but I would say around $100-$200 a head. How much is the LFS asking for?

Anybody else have any input on where this coral falls between Indo, Dragon Sould, or Holy Grail. And is 125 worth 1 head. I will take all the input I can. Thanks,

I think it depends on if you like it and what it's worth to you. I'm not a torch fan so I can't say what I think is fair.

Couldn't resist. It's fabulous. Looks like a Grail under blue lighting. Gold hints and purple base with neon tips.

Looks like a Indo Dragon Soul to me.

Looks like a torch to me. Does it really matter what someone wants to name it? All this naming coral has gotten out of hand, and is costing the hobbyist crazy money. If you like it and it's worth the price to you, then by all means buy it. But don't buy it just because its a "dragon soul" or "holy grail".

5 or 6 years ago before someone decided to call it a "dragon soul torch" that same coral would have been 20$ a head. But low and behold, we name it, now it's 100$ a head.

This trend is getting ridiculous, and is almost laughable. Worst part is it's only going to get worse as everyone is "naming" everyday common corals and charging and arm and a leg for them. As long as people are willing to pay the exorbitant prices, they will just keep going up.

Sorry. That's what I meant. It Looks every bit like a Indio Dragon Soul. It's fabulous.

I agree. After buying it and getting it acclimated. I don't care what it is. Looks like one of the 2 but after seeing it in my tank I could care less. It's fabulous. My favorite torch with Amazing colors
