Indo torch corals

[ReeferBill]

Guys,
How do you tell if a torch is an indo or just a normal torch? Seems like the indo torches are going for lots of money and my friend wants to sell hers. I don’t know how to identify them or price them. Any help would be appreciated. Pic attached.

She is being told to send the coral to someone out of state for identification. I don’t like that idea and figured you guys could help.

Looks like an indo to me

Any ideas on pricing for this coloration?

Indo is going for crazy money these days. Nice piece you have there. I have a Gold Indo Hammer

 

[ReeferBill]

Yeah. That’s why she’s looking to sell. Someone told her not to sell under $200 per head. I thought that was high since it’s not gold but wanted to see what you guys thought.

 

[VKGT]

No doubt, this is the place to ask for sure. I'm still learning every day about what's $$$ or not.

 

[ReeferBill]

A lot of it is what someone will pay. I just didn’t think this coloration brought such a high price. But I don’t want to tell her to sell low either.

I’ve been told another way to identify indo is in the base and skeleton. Indos will branch out with skinnier longer bases and Aussie have more stumpy bases. Made sense to me. Lol

 

[Ben Seaver]

I’d say for a quick sale easily $80-$100 head but realistically more. If you can ship there’s ppl out there who will pay $200+ a head.

Green tip torch like that can be had in Aussie variety for 40 to 80 a head. I’d think this one would go for 70 to 100, maybe 120 per head. No way 200. It’s not a rare color.

Looks like what some call grim reaper torch. Paid 60/head for mine.

+1 indo
I have same color AUSSIE $70 purchased recently at an LFS. Follows the Aussie stout VS Indo thin and long rule.

Definitely an I do torch. Because it isn’t a rare coloration, I would say no more then $60 a head retail or $500 for the piece retail
