i wouldn't worry about any id guide, the names are whatever name the vendor gives them. people will say things like that isn't a holy grail because of XY or Z but the reality is if the vendor calls it a holy grail it is, its just a name. people focus too much on the names in euphilia in my opinion, most of them don't keep track of the lineage are a just "IDing" wild corals. so the names don't mean much. If it was more based on the actual lineage i would be much more interested in the names.

Sorry i'm not really a torch guy, though i do enjoy them, but i think the way some people "ID" them is silly, like someone said above, who cares what color the mouth is, usually can't see it unless my torch is ticked or unhealthy and i don't even think they all agree on the rules for IDing them. sorry rant over.

You’re good, I agree with you. The name game can be a bit silly, but it is part of the market. I’m mostly just trying to understand better so that if/when I decide to sell a head or two, I’ll maybe know what I’m actually selling. It’s confusing for sure, but it affects the price in the market.

Some people think purty mouths are worth $100 more.

Just grab no namers and name them what you want.

I just found out mine is a Hellfire. Before that, his name was Jeff. Now though, I have to change his name. I'm thinking Franklin is a good Hellfire name...

I just call mine an Indo Gold because that's how I received it. But with a green mouth and turquoise tips with the green/gold/purple tentacles it's supposedly a Hellfire which is a fancy name of saying Indo Gold with a green mouth, purple on the tentacles, and turquoise tips. Indo Gold works.

Well, I decided to add real live rock and replace most of the CaribSea in the nano. The Acros responded by popping out their polyps. Pretty interesting response. And I’ve got at least one coral hitchhiker (if you can call a sessile animal that). Hope it survives(came wrapped in wet paper towels). A little surprised caus the last time I got it from Gulf Live , it was submerged. Still pretty pleased.

I could be way off here but plopping live rock into your tank without giving it at least a couple days in a separate curing container can be bad. There's a good possibility of some die off and in a nano that can cause a spike.

On the plus side, these SPS look happy:

Awesome! I'm really loving the SBB torch I got. The SPS are a little too small to appreciate from where I'm sitting across the room. I've started increasing my Ph to help with growth

I have one goni that hasn't fully opened yet, but that's gonis sometimes. Everything else looks good.

All of the gonis that i got (3) are open, they can definitely be a bit stubborn!

I don’t know how you do it. I’m a little cranky because I only got 6 hrs of sleep for one night.

Back up. To quote Winston from John Wick 4 which I saw on the plane (which is quoted from somewhere else) "Such is life".

6 hours is an eternity.
