That's a new name for that one. Also called 24k and before was something else. that's an expensive torch and nice find

I paid $100 and when I got it it was full yellow. It stayed full yellow in my Waterbox, I moved to my 75 and it developed the purple. Now it’s in the pico and I’m wondering what it will do

Corals transition color based on lighting and nutrients. Some shades others may develop more or change. It all depends on the coral and family. Hearing that about a torch is new to me lol. So that is interesting. Makes me wonder about some of these torches being sold lol. Tempting for a 100 lol.

Ironically bought two

1) went in 75 - stayed yellow. Shown attached

2) went in the Waterbox 15, stayed yellow

Then number 2 was moved into the 75 with torch 1 and developed purple

Ok so had some issues with crowding. And still do. Seems torch just loooove to stretch out in this tank and take up a lot of room. I put small baby 1-2” torches in this tank, and in a few weeks they are 4” or more lol. I’ve swapped torches several times and they just grow fast and need to be replaced.

So I decided to put in a frogspawn instead. And now…it’s bigger than it’s ever been. Gonna have to trade this out also

Here are some updated pics, tank is doing great. Waterline is low because the return is turned off for pictures. The frogspawn is hitting walls on 3 sides when flow is on.
