What would your choice be between these two torches?

[littlefoxx]

Just a little context—
I'm a torch obsessed collecting reefer. My tank is all LPS and softie (zoa) dominated, with about 75% of the coral stock, being torch corals.

I've been given the choice of either getting a 24K Torch, or a Hellfire Torch.

I'm having a difficult time deciding. What would your choice be, if you were given these options? (I prefer to have torches that don't look too similar to one another, too.)

Thanks to all of you, and I hope you guys' weekends have been wonderful!

《If anyone wants to know for further context and/or comparison purposes, this is my current collection—》

• Dragon Soul Torch
• OG Dragon Soul Torch
• Rasta Torch
• Firefly Torch
• Oscar The Grouch
• Todd's Torch
• CC's 21 Tails Torch
• KFC's Honey Pot Torch
• Grim Reaper Torch
• Cotton Candy Torch
• NY Knicks Torch
• Ultra Tiger Torch
• Dragon Tamer Torch
• Holy Guacamole Torch

24K Ive never seen a yellow/gold torch like that before, a lot of torches have green colors

My vote neither;
Reason, I want to see them in day light as opposed to they heavy blue light they always photo then in. I run white light in my system not windex blue. So I pick the best color morph in the white light.

Out of the 2 choices I prefer the hellfire torch .

But … never being able to have any luck with them at all I typically wouldn’t even look . Never mind stress about the price .

that ‘Black and Gold’ is gorgeous, I now have a torch to look out for!

SeaCo corals on Facebook is my neighbor/friend. Understand that his stuff is imported if that matters to you. But he does have good prices.

Hellfire. I have both and like both, but hellfire is it. Just FYI be very careful with what many are calling 24K gold torches. Most are just Indo gold torches. As explained to me some time ago by a trustworthy vendor an actual 24k has darker purple tips vs gold with pale purple. Pretty sure I know what vendor you are considering and those IMO are not 24k. I actually just got one from them to replace and actual 24k (from RAP Orlando) that got BJD. As far as gold torches go the wolverine is more of a 24k gold IMO with rich darker orange and dark purple tips.

I have lost a couple but have slowly accumulated a good collection of torches with hellfire, wolverine, tiger, rasta, orange peel, dragon soul, Indo gold, green, purple tip florescent green and orange, green, purple cristatas. The one that eludes me is banana which at least from a particular vendor die quickly.

Controversial subject but I did eventually break down and have to treat my tank with Cipro to get everything healthy and squash BJD. It's also come to my attention that a number of vendors run Cipro 24x7 in holding tanks which may ultimately spell disaster in the long run and when they hit your tank.

This my 24k I love it, super bright gold any green mouthing is not 24k. Like my pic is plain no green or light green.

My dream torch is the holy grail indo gold torch

That’s a dragon tamer, a holy grail variant in my opinion not really a holy grail just a name to increase pricing. Here’s one of my favorite holy grails.

 

[ThePhoReefer]

so, actual hellfires have lime green tips? is that right? oh, and im sorry— i honestly lost focus for a second because your fish totally stole the show! its absolutely gorgeous!

My opinion green tips are dragon souls, teal/light blue are hellfire torches. Be aware that they can change color of tentacles in your tank base on your water parameters and lighting. Tip usually stay the same. Mine switch color tentacles base on nutrients if high or low, par values as well.

Salty! I’ve been trying to get in touch - everything ok?
