[ARichied]

How did I do? I payed $200 for this piece? Good or over paid? Be honest please and thank you!

Did you buy it cause you liked it or because it's labeled 24k holly grail?

Neve heard of a 24k holy grail. 24k ks a Indo variety with golds and purple. Holy grail is a green torch with gold sheen.

Looks like you got a typical holy grail which is a good thing. How’s it look in person? Does it have any gold or yellows?

Assuming that coral shares lineage with FCA’s 24k HG…insane value. I picked one up about a month ago and it continues to impress. That photo doesn’t do it justice.

Yea this^

Don't buy because of some name, buy it because it looks cool. Personally the one in the picture just looks meh. Looks more like a green torch with blue tips than anything gold to me.

That's why I like tamers. They have a good amount of yellow/gold without the crazy prices.

Mid grade in price but high grade colors

bought mainly because of the vibrant colors! Was trying to double down if it becomes a value in fragging out but if not all good wasn’t my main goal. Just more wanted the thoughts on for this frag and value paid not the name

That’s a smokin deal! In the PNW everything is insane prices!

I bought it because it’s what I wanted, I didn’t do it for resell value if that’s what you mean. If it splits and I can frag it awesome but I never been one to chase the most out but help the next person get there dream tank! Most can’t afford the top stuff and as this isn’t the top or close its vibrant colors stand out beautifully. Pictures never do justice maybe one day all buy a real lens to capture pieces.

I like the color combination and my eyes and mind struggle to make out the differences among the many paint jobs these corals come in. I have been look for a while but the prices on most of these just don't get me that excited. Also they tank up a lot of space and I have a couple of colonies for many years and I keep thinking about getting rid of them because they don't make me as happy as when I first brought them home.

I misread, sorry, I thought you asked if you overpaid, and was answering “no” because I paid even more. Mine is supposed to be here Wednesday, so we shall see

What don’t you see? Difference between typical green torch like cotton candy or Todd’s torch and higher end ones like grails?
