I have no clue what this torch is, it’s got the purple tips (can’t really see in the picture. Is it a holy grail? Or is it just a basic torch?

Anything helps!

Looks to be a basic green. Sorry, that's roughly 25 per head in my area. That colony would go for 150.
 
I mean between 100-150.

Grails are very neon green and neon yellow. Under normal lights, they are metallic green like. It's pretty interesting to see.
 
There are some torches coming from indonesia that look mainly green with the slightest hint of yellow. These have been sold to many people as Holy Grail but they are not true holy grails.

It’s hard to say but I’m seeing a slight orange/yellow hue on the tentacles. It could be a holy grail that hasn’t coloured up but a true holy grail looks like this…

That’s a HG I’ve coloured up from a torch that was more of an “Ultra Grail” (IMO an ultra grail is a torch with more green than yellow, in this case it was 75% green, 25% yellow and it’s now switched up to 75% yellow, 25% green).

It’s got the bright neon green, with the tiniest hint of yellow but that’s about it.

That’s what I’m thinking now that you’ve said it, it’s a super bright green, small hint of yellow, with the purple tips. The pictures I took were without the lens.
 
Now I will say with it next to the basic green torch I have this one is MUCH brighter/ yellow tint to it. If it helps any once everything comes on and wakes up today I’ll take a picture for comparison.
 
Taking yellow poctures so difficult for me.
When i got my grail, it turned green on me. A week later, the yellow came back, more neon yellow than before.

So hopefully, you have a grail, and just not some yellow hints.
 
Sending that, what would you think?
Bases on the photos, I would say it is not a holy grail.

Without a better pic, or seeing in person, I can not be sure though

@KingAlee i stumbled on this old thread. Do you still have the torch? Any new pics now that you’ve had it a while?

I think it is more of just a green torch, sadly, or a variant of the Holy Grail, as the yellow has slowly gone away. That, or I just don't have it in the correct lighting.

If those pics are under blues, and it looks like they are, then yeah, its just some sort of normal torch. Looks good and healthy tho.
