Rasta torch: Anyone ever seen these?

[Savage Reef]

Thanks for the kind words guys, I got a call from my supplier telling me about some torches that came in from aussie comparable to aussie golds in rarity. Googled to learn myself up on them and find a good fair price, Cali-Kid Corals had one head up for 900 and top shelf had a double for 800, I priced a true triple @ 650. Yes euphyllia in general has gone up in price its nothing any of us can control. I just love when folks chime in saying they can get things cheaper, guess some people forget that their are places that cant even get GSP and consider that rare.. Just because you are 5 mins from a international coral zone with ample possibilities doesn't mean everyone else is. Thanks everyone!

Don't mind 'em. I'd buy them again for the same price. Absolute beauties. Thanks to Savage Reef!

How much did you pay for it? I paid $500 for one splitting into 3 heada

Funny thing was, I was helping my friend, Daniel, set up his booth at the frag fest (he's the one that builds the Reefi lights) and I happened to walk across the room to a booth that was already set up and behold, there it was. I asked how much, he said $350, I said sold.

It is also one big head that is splitting into 3 heads. Maybe that's how they are, they like to split into 3's. That'd be so awesome!

Sorry for the bad pic...

Hey Dodge, save me a head whenever you frag it.

Nice torch, but I wouldn't overpay

I paid $500 for a splitting 3 head. It's almost completely split now so technically I got it at $166 a head so I don't believe I overpaid. Plus, I trust the guy I bought it from. Superb dude. He doesn't price gouge

 

[Superlightman]

Your crazy to pay so much for euphyllia,here in germany a shop try to sell it for 90 €but near nobody buy because it to uggly fir the price.i have feeling people pay just for the name actually

 

[Stuartmercer]

if anyone is looking for more rasta torches: Candy Corals is selling them. Just picked one up.

 

[Covett03]

I have a two headed one I came across. Definitely hope the crazy keeps up so I can frag some. The two heads are definitely meaty.

 

[kzenoni]

I’ve got one in my torch garden with 8 heads at last count.

 

[Rabidbeast666]

The prices back when this thread started were crazy. I just bought a really nice 2 head for $100.

@Rabidbeast666 Where do you pick up the torch from?

Lol I am too late to the party

I’ve always heard the aussie’s are harder/pickier to keep. I couldn’t imagine paying any of these prices…rare or not. Who do we show these off to, like 10 people a year, which is family haha. Now, you wanna spend crazy money for a car, at least you can show it off for real…my 2cents

If any of your LFS get their coral from Eye Catching Coral then there is currently a few rasta torches in stock

@Rabidbeast666 Where do you pick up the torch from?

I got mine from a local shop. The Coral Station in Addison Tx.
