ID on this torch coral

James Mikell · Dec 5, 2018

Well tonight while visiting one of my lfs i ran across this torch and had to have it. It was sold to me as a gold torch a local reefer traded in. It dosent look like the typical gold torches i have seen in the past, anyone have any idea on what it may be.

I’m clueless but it’s gorgeous.
I know there are several designer torches now. Dragon Soul looks kind of close to me

I paid 150 for 1 full head and 1 baby head thats already splitting from the main head. Not sure if its a good price or not.

I don’t know what the going price is, all I have are black ,green, Aussie and Indo gold.
To me, if you like it, you got a good deal. All the names of the different corals shouldn’t have an impact of the “deal” you got unless you plan on selling.

I agree. I paid what i thought was fair seeing as ive never seen anything that looked even close to what this thing is.
