lol I’m sure this question is highly asked. Do all Holy Grails glow neon green on the polyps and mouth with blue/purple tips? I traded and received this coral. He said it was TSA HG. I’m hesitant and it’s alright if it isn’t I still got other items I needed. However wanna get a second opinion. Here are some pics under different light spectrums.




Edit: Lol here are the pics.

Edit for pics! I think there’s variation on the tips but generally blue or purple yea. Without seeing pic, coulda been a shaded head or just one that was colored down in their tank. HOWEVER I think LPS retain their color better

I’m colorblind, so take this for what it’s worth. It looks like my grail under blues, but it looks like a cotton candy to me under whites. I know TSA has a cotton candy holy grail torch, but I do not know what that looks like under whites. What is the difference between a holy grail and a cotton candy holy grail torch? Couldn’t tell ya. It’s a pretty piece regardless!

I think vendors call any torch with a hint of yellow holy grails, banana, etc. The amount of yellow and the color of the tips is different between each variety. I have an OG holy grail with the blue/purple tips and I have something that was sold to me as a bannana grail that has bright yellow and green tentacles with bright green tips.

I admit I was expecting brighter, but some of the other frags in the tank look brighter with the same tips so maybe just needs some light and tlc stability now that’s it’s own 2 headed glory.

Just curious, what was your side of the trade?

Yeah in his tank it looked a lot brighter, I have my lights a bit on the low end because I have been slowly increasing to avoid burning my montis. I did that once before lol.

I traded a purple tang. My favorite fish but I should've known better! My tank wasn't big enough. He gave me the coral with 2 heads and a 4 pump doser that I def needed.

Aw man! Well if they needed a bigger home then that’s good for you. Doser is a big ticket item too.

The all blues pics look correct. Yes neon green/with yellow tentacles, usually dark blue tips but sometimes more towards purple. Neon green in the center.
Sometime when the room is dark you can put on your orange glasses and play with each color spectrum on your LED lights and see which colors come out on it lol

It might be the same torch, but he must have upped the saturation on the picture. I wouldnt call that a holy grail
