I will say, I've seen the HG in person and it is absolutely stunning, even coming from an SPS guy ;)

Thanks. Wasn’t aware there was a straight indo gold.

Get off the cross we need the wood.
Indonesian gold torch is the standard, it’s where the torch is from. A majority of torches are split into two regions... Indo-Pacific and Australia

I agree with the designer names comment, it really is a sales pitch and allows vendors/private sellers to charge more for their pieces.

Sheesh... You have a beautiful Indo gold torch, genus: euphyllia glabrescens. Unless you plan to sell it what does the name matter? If you do sell it name it what you want there really is no standard outside of the region. As you can see everyone is going to comment on what it is and isn’t. I’d buy it regardless of the name it’s a beautiful torch that’s all there is to it.

Some time people mistake with Aussie gold due to how fat the heads get.

That’s an awesome torch!
here’s two fat heads I have, both from indo.

Totally agree.
It matters around 10 month ago. It doesn't really matters now since I collected a ton of torches already.

So, would this be a Dragon Soul?

Do you have a clearer picture? Definitely Indo-gold most likely as dragon soul or whatever you’d like to name it

Please! Enough with these stupid names. Did someone actualy get approval from the NY Knicks to use their name. I doubt it. You people that buy into this crap are nothing but idiots.

Yeah. They should all be named Coral#2191782726361112.111.2.3334

Calling people idiots for using a naming convention you don't like is crappy behavior. If you don't like it, don't use it. No need to be an *** about it.

This picture is without a filter. My blues don’t help.

i don’t really care, since I don’t see them. Just curious.

I have a credit from a very well known company and they are offering a new york knicks for 299. It has a green mouth and looks like orangish purple tentacles with very light tip and i know they are using alot of blue! Most of the pics I see the tip are blue. Almost as if they fixed the pic somehow because they are BLUE! Should I go for it? Do ny knicks come in a light tip variety?

I am editing this because I noticed that the calikids one in this post has light tips!

Wow, idiots? Come on now. No need for that.
He's kinda got a point, aside from the name calling. The names of these corals mean nothing, have changed for the exact same colored coral (current holy grails are not the same as holy grails a few years ago...), and mean very little. It would be better to describe the torch's colors, e.g., gold torch. or call it a premium torch, show a photo and describe the torch. Liveaquaria has been good at not falling into not helpful nonsense marketing of animals.

What is this torch? Is it an indo gold, aussie gold or ny knicks. I have no clue. Very different and cant seem to get info from who I won it from. I think I may have overbid but I have bought a lot of coral from them and think they are going to work me a deal!

Doesn't look like my Knick torch but is very cool. I would think it would be strange for Unique not to have something on their website?
