Hi, can you send more photos of the green/ gold torch? Dose it changed to green when blue lights turn up more?
 
Green gold is usually holy grail variants,
Well, I just got a similar one from my lfs, when i saw it in the store it is green/gold almost the same as the photo, but when I have it in my tank, it turned into pure green, I have to tune down the intensity of blue in my light setup to bring the gold out, which I don’t think will be necessary if it was a true hg

That’s interesting! Usually the gold coloration of the torch comes from UV protection so I believe you’ll need to increase light intensity for HGs to keep their gold color to prevent them from losing it.
 
I do not consider this a 'true HG'. The tips are very much a light green, and the gold is subtle but comes out more in higher lights. The gold is more visible under the blue spectrum and higher light 175 PAR+
 
I was told mine was an Aussie banana, I know banana= hg like. And it was very cheap. I got it home in the frag tank with b60% w2%, it turned to be pure green. I tuned the light to b50% w5%, it showed a lot of gold, just the same as yours. Guess it’s a torch game after all
