Torch Id help please. Seller dispute.

[vdubers]

Can I please get some help with the id of this torch. I received the frag today and the seller is adamant that it’s a ny Knicks however it looks exactly the same as my indo gold (at the top) of the comparison photo. I appreciate it’s still settling in but doesn’t look like a ny kicks to me. He is arguing it’s just the lighting. Thanks

I gave up diputing strains of corals with anyone. I have seen mislabled corals on website and LFS but then who is to say what I was told they are are actually what they are? I have seen this one called both and I don't know what the difference is but if it doesn't look like the picture you bought it from I would have a talk with the seller.

Both look great!

My New York Knicks is porphing to a solid gold torch. Its under 300 par. They can, and will morph with lighting, flow amd parameters.

Sorry I was having some issues posting and for some reason it posted it three times!

I don’t actually care all that much about names really it’s just it can be helpful sometimes when trying to find a new variant I don’t have. Or at least thought I didn’t have .

The seller did say it has a green mouth but it’s white/grey in my tank.

Does yours have a green mouth? I was under the impression that was a defining feature and neither my original colony or the new frag have a green mouth. It’s more a white/grey mouth.

I think I see closely yours has a green mouth? Both of mine have a white/grey mouth. Would not complain if mine morphed into that it’s lovely!

 

[twentyleagues]

From the pics they look the same, I will say that. Are the ny knicks or indo gold? IDK They look nice.

 

[Troylee]

I don’t see any pics in the first post? Anywho a indo gold and Knicks are similar but the Knicks have a green mouth.. the 24k and a indo gold look similar but the 24k is super bright gold compared to the orangish gold

Thanks both are nice I was just hoping to add a new variant to my collection.

Mine has a very neon green mouth.

Sorry my phone is not playing ball tonight first it posted the thread three times then it deleted the photos. Have hopefully reattached them now.

Yes that was my understanding too that the knicks should have a bright green mouth. I will take a closer look tomorrow when it’s settled in but it looked grey/white to me earlier.

Ny knicks has green on the base and mouth, it’s noticeable

Honestly I looked I can’t see the mouth but I don’t ever recall seeing green. The western Australian Rasta torch behind it on the left has a green mouth.

All my Knicks have a noticeable bright green on the mouths. Did you buy it as WYSIWG? Does it look like the picture that was advertised?

 

[VintageReefer]

This was my Knicks. It has a green mouth but wasn’t bright green.

If you want something to stand out get a banana

Maybe this frag is just stressed and it will come back to green after a couple of days?

Yes it was WYSIWG I have attached the seller photos below. I did think it might look similar to my colony but I messaged him before hand and he confirmed it had a green mouth so I thought it would be a chance to get one a bit different.

I would love a Banana torch! Sadly I would be doing the online roulette again though as my lfs doesn’t get ones like that in. I can make my dragon soul look very yellow if I shine a UV light on it and edit the settings so I’m always dubious about what I would actually receive as I’m sure some sellers are doing just that. I thought this one might be safe when the seller said it had the green mouth as all my actual gold ones have the white mouth.

I source and sell banana torch regularly to people here and can help you when you are ready. My supplier ships to me, I inspect for health color accuracy, and hold a week or two. Send accurate unedited photos to buyer and confirm expectations. And coordinate / provide shipping to the buyer when ready

I have two frags of banana grail that I grew from my colony myself but they aren’t ready for shipping. Single and a double

I’m very experienced with torches and ID and delivering what my buyers want and expect

Here is another im growing out, not a banana grail, just a real nice banana

 

[keatonmjenkins]

I’ll say that everybody’s tanks are different and corals change color and act differently in other tanks. Your parameters are probably vastly different than the sellers tank and might not be as good which is why you could see changes.

I would jump on the chance those look great and I’d love to find a seller with straight up pictures however I am in the UK and guessing you are USA?

Yeah I do agree with this and if it had started like the photos with a green mouth as described but morphed over time I would put it down to my parameters but figure one day isn’t going to shift it.
