Curious what the value of this torch is. Peach/orange tips (depends on how blue the lighting is) with green mouths. The first pic is of mother colony before cutting. The other pic is right after cutting it. Thank you in advance.

I paid $150 for one head of a similar looking torch at my LFS - although the base/skeleton on mine is much larger than the ones in your photos. It was sold to me as a "skittles" torch.

Nice I just looked up skittles torch. It is very similar. Mine branches and grows smalls heads as soon as it grows to what I consider normal sized head it splits into 4 new heads. It’s a very fast grower compared to my other torches. This is it when I bought it last year.

Yeah it's a beautiful piece - easily one of my favorites in my tank. Yours is really nice too, that mother colony is sexy. I hope mine grows quickly too, that would be awesome. I've been feeding it reefroids twice a week to hopefully grow it out to a nice size.

Are you feeding yours at all?

I broadcast benepets but not very often.

I sell ones just like that for $80/h here locally, they're smaller heads as well
