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
