I wouldn’t pay more than maybe $200 (and that’d be unlikely). To me it’s just not that colorful and not that different from a torch that costs less than $100. I think people have lost their minds when it comes to torches. Slight variations in somewhat drab colors being the difference between $75 and $1200 is just crazy. Personally, I don’t find torches or Euphyllia/Fimbriaphyllia all that interesting, I have a few, and they’re okay, but they don’t speak to me the way a lot of other LPS do. I think my favorite torches are the fluorescent green with pink tips, which are generally overpriced, but not crazy.
Coral trends come and go, paying more than a couple hundred for any coral is shortsighted, once you’ve seen a few of these booms go bust, you start to realize just how artificially inflated these prices are. I remember when basic micro lords (back when they were acans) and chalices were selling for just stupid prices, I remember when Hollywood Stunners were hundreds of dollars. I learned my lesson with trendy corals a long time ago. In general, trends are for the anxious and the impatient, qualities which are not conducive to being successful in this hobby long term.
