Well i have 10K Metal Halide. If you go that route, just be prepared that the colors are a little different compared to heavy blues. My hammers looks great/ growing a nice shape, my torches are finally growing at a decent pace but slower than normal as it is getting blast with some heavier flow due to being a mixed reef. In my tank Under 10k my golds will look brown. i do have a heavy blue leds that i can turn on at night once the metal halides turn off and i can see all nicely gold colors on the hammer and torch and other corals.
IF they are grown under led and lower par, they will need some time to adjust it takes a few months and once acclimated they grow very fast. They used to be under led but once they are under metal halide their flesh band are more healthier and big/ thicker. Depending on the flow and par polyps can vary.
Some other torch variant i have retain their color more such as the cotton candy torch (green with puple/pink tip)
I have a regular indo green (green on green tip) but its a more dull green.
My purple tip green hammer seem to retain its color.
My gold/rainbow wall hammer seem to be more peachy brown.
Everything seem to have a tinge of brown/orange hue due to my kelvin rating.
So depending on your camera and settings photos can look different.
Definitely have your vendor your buying lps turn on the whites and see what the colors looks like. Youll be amazed.
So depending on which kelvin you go for is your preference.
