Wich gold torch?

Wich one do you guys recimend me getting Australian gold torch or indo gold torch it's probably going to be my first high end coral btw

Obviously it’s all based on opinion, but I think the Aussie golds are cooler IMO. Plus Indo opened back up so it’s gonna get easier and easier to get indos, if you wanted to get an indo in the future.

How about hardiness?

Do you have other lps in your tank? If so then you should be good

Indo torches tend to do better in tanks and are a little less sensitive to water quality. If you do a quick search on the forum for Aussie golds, you find a large number of issues people have come across with keeping them. One week they are doing amazing and the next tentacles falling out and dying. If you do some research you'll find that Aussie golds are found in the wild typically where the rivers meet the ocean high flow, more brackish waters. Long story short I know very few reefers that have been able to keep Aussie golds. Not saying it isn't possible it's just a little more challenging. Myself I've decided to steer clear of Aussie gold until they are aquacultured a little more...

We had a 3 headed monster (pic #1) that had been growing in our tank for a few months, then one head started to die, and then they all started to die... it was a tough loss for us.

Our Indo gold though are thriving and I love the colors they exhibit.

Congrats on your first post BTW, welcome to the deep end of the pool :) Let me know what you end up with always happy to see new euphyllia in tanks!

I think that is a wise choice! Get an Aussie gold down the road...but the Indo ones do appear way more hardy

I would think if you can keep an acro healthy then you should be just fine with it! Good luck

 

[Damian reef boi]

Thanks!

Wait do you guys know where I could get one that's like 200 dollars or less? ( there probably isn't but worth a try lol)

Two different species of corals... I don’t know if I agree with that.

You gotta hunt or get lucky in a live sale.

I’ve seen a few of them available at this price in the R2R market, but they usually get bought quite quickly.
