Originally when I purchased this coral a year or so ago it was just your run of the mill purple indo looking torch. You can see that in the picture in my previous tank right after I got it. It has since gotten quite large and has gotten dark purple with this beautiful gold. What do you all make of this?

Not so sure about the upgrade part. Your beautiful torch looks like it's doing what torches do. With stable parameters and good nutrition it's not uncommon at all for them to color in after a while in our glass boxes.

So it may not have been as happy in the previous owner's tank?

That, Or it may be just now coming into is own coloration. Many times, wild harvested colonies take a lot of stress before making it into our aquariums. The parameters and lights we run are still quite different from the ocean. They can take months to years to change, and continue subtle changes over time

That's awesome! Must be doing something right then!

sorry for bumping an older thread, but I was curious about my torch gaining some color. When i first got it, it looked like your last pic. In the last few days, its been developing a green tint to the polyps. Ill try to take a picture when the lights are on more. How long did it take for yours to full color up?
