Looking for gold torch single head? $150?

I found a gold torch online someone is selling for $180, was wondering if I could find it any cheaper elsewhere..

Probably not. Also there is a difference between aussie and indo gold torches. Also between the varaints, just to keep in mind.

Appreciate the response! Which do you like more indo or aussie? But don't just say indo cuz its harder to get rn lol

This is the one I found for $180 from a reputable shop about an hour away from me

Actually indo corals are easier to get. Especially the variants such as dragon soul. They were stockpiled during indo closure and started to roll in before COVID. Minus the hg, still hard to find. There have been less Aussie golds, and out of the wild they can be slightly more challenging for new reef keepers (in my experience anyways). Attached is a washed out pic there's an aussie gold on the bottom and in middle. The indo hg in the back. The aussie gold usually has fatter thick polyps but in high flow they can become thinner and longer as seen.

The hg has insane color especially when running LEDs, but is $$. I run MH and T5. Next my favorites are Aussie gold, then indo golds.

Oh my gosh your stuff looks have your torches ever grown new branches?

I've fragged the gold torch on the bottom a few times. The middle one I've only had for a few weeks, purchased as splitting heads. The indo hg has grown fast and had a couple frags from.
