Blue(-ish maybe?) torch with peach or pink tips

[joseph.timbs]

I saw a Blue(-ish maybe?) torch with peach or pink tips in one of Vic’s WWC tank tours on YouTube . Would any of you be able to guess an ID from the description? Don’t know the episode title. Also are knicks really blue and orange or just an orangish gold?

Short answer, I don't know what these are called but I do know that much of the "secret" for LPS coloration is in the lighting fixtures and camera filters that capture on line images. I have self determined not to purchase many (most) things online if I can go to the LFS and see, in person, what these things look like and inspect their lighting to get an idea of how a thing might look once it goes under my lights.

Still, I have purchased stuff in person and once I got it home it was unrecognizable for the traits/colors I had selected for.

My difficulty comes from the color tips on torches. They may be white or peach in person but with the right lights they are blue, and visa versa. How can I be sure what they will look like in my system? It's a real challenge

I’m with @KrisReef here. I have bought things, both in person and online, and their coloration is not what I thought I purchased. In particular, online photos are done in heavy blue lighting with filters to showcase the brilliance of those colors. Most of us will not be sitting in front of our DT using filters and that intense lighting. I also would rather go to a local LFS and view though their lighting will tend to showcase the fluorescence of the corals to some degree as well.

Yep, its just really hard to judge unless you trust the source photos. Drastic difference arrive in person.

The one I saw seemed like a fairly opaque blue tentacle and anything between pink and orange tips
