Wow. Really nice. Are you trying to frag/sell it or just curious about it? They really didn't have names back then. They usually jusy came as ausi euphelia, or Indo euphelia. 20-30$ a head for crazy ones. Now they're worth about 10x that. Until the craze slows down and indo opens their doors again and starts flooding the market with more LPS

I'm actually slowly converting my 150DT to a SPS dominant tank. I'm building a LPS/softy dominant system, starting with my own corals. I'm looking to trade some heads for a Gold. So, I'd like to be able to name it. I understand common names, not scientific, are relative...and random.

That’s just a green torch with blue tips
You might find a name on a website but it’s just a green torch
If you can find someone to trade you a gold torch for a green do it But I think that’s be hard
Might be better to frag it sell off the frags and buy a gold.

Understand. I'm not looking at a trade straight up. I understand the Gold is more valuable. I already have an offer from my LFS. I'm just looking to explore other options. I plan to frag it.

honestly IMO that looks more like a green indo torch
I would say a head goes for 100 -150 a head
aussie golds 250-450 a head
indo golds depending on how gold in regular lighting, be carefully some look great in super blue, but not regular lighting
can be 500-1400 a head
to be honest i wouldn't touch and indo gold right now, too expensive in my opinion , but too each its own

+1 on indo tentacles look thin and long. Aussie are thick and shorter.

These are blue. However, It depends on the light spectrum you're using. I'm a professional photographer, although I used a iPhone, with a Polyp lab Coral view lens, for this shot. Unless you're more curious, I won't get too technical regarding Kelvin and photography. However, a corals color will absolutely change based on the light spectrum you're viewing the coral under. By using the above mentioned lens over my iPhone, you're getting a more accurate color representation. There's more to it than that...but hope this helps!

LOL...I won't. You're right... I just want to get my hands on a Gold torch and I'm not paying the LFS the price they want for one head. BTW, hope your frags are doing well. If you're ready for more, I have a few additional varieties. Give me a call!Don't do it, you know you don't want to trade/sell it to them.
Also, those pics don't do that torch justice. It looks way better in person.
