Best holy grail torch?

[TCseh]

The best looking torch is the Mancini Lineage CC24k and they go for over $2000 per head. The only person I would trust buying from is somebody with lineage from first class or from first class but that wait is years long. You can see in the attached video which ones brighter than all the others and there aren’t many torches I don’t have.

Others above this post say it’s stupid but I have made my money back ten times over and when you deal with a torch that’s been aqua-cultured for 8 plus years, you don’t have to worry about it randomly dying like a wild Hg that will still cost you $500 or more.

Would you recommend cornbreds or asd?

Mancini 24K is an absolute Slammer.

I know it's semantics but I don't personally consider the 24k torches to be "holy grail" any more in name as they are unique enough to be easily identified as a 24k when grown out right.

TCK Master is what I consider my quintessential of the Holy Grails

I can't find TCK master torch. It sounds like to me you recommend getting that one though over a holy grail? If not. What holy grail do you recommend that's obtainable unlike the one that's on back order.

You can’t keep coral alive so why waste your “investment” for it to die?

You have zero clue in anything saltwater yet trying to resell and make money off corals you can’t even keep alive lolol

Well I just did so there’s that

You must be a blast at parties.

Be helpful or tick off please.

I'm not recommending you get one. I know nothing about your system. I love them enough to own one. I'm simply participating in the conversation around the best holy grail by opinion.

I have seen this colony in person. The photo is a bit too yellow, but it's a great color irl.

I totally understand what your saying. Think of it like guiding me to get the right one. I have already made up my mind for getting one and am now just asking questions for the right one.

I'd say if you're going to drop a grand on a torch, make a short list and try to see them in person. See which one you love the most. The "best" anything is totally subjective to the looker.

TSA is one of the biggest lineage torches. There's also a bunch of non TSA HG torches being passed off as them.

If you like the color pattern, go see some.

I agree a cc24k is a great looking torch. Hopefully I'll add one to my system one day. However you don't need a lineage piece to get find those colors and brightness. Nearly all mines are wild that colored up over time and most were from online buys.

I miss Nathan, but yes. They are.

Also....you can drop all the $$$$$ you want on a special coral...like the Holy Grail....just remember, as with all Coral...it will never look the same as it did at your LFS or online retailers once its in your tank...maybe, eventually, it will get close, but not for 6 months.

Me...I'm never paying $2k for a coral...my red torch with green tips was $60...and it's awesome!

I agree with looking around. Right now I was thinking between asd and cornbreds. The reason I ask if one is better than the other is that I can get cornbreds for 500 and asd for 1k. Is asd really worth 500 more?

I wouldn't get cornbread anything nowadays lol. Unless you really like pencil head pieces at astronomical prices

That explains it well. Lol

Then my question is gsd holy grail for 600 or asd for 1k. Anybody know anything what one is best value?

Honestly bro. Buy what your eyes enjoy seeing. It shouldn't matter what anyone else think. What exactly are you looking for in a torch? Are you just trying to buy a name or a color scheme?

Two things I am looking for. Color and resale value. I am looking for one that I can re sell and make my money back and to afford more coral in the future. That doesn't mean I want to buy an ugly one though. That's why color matters.

He’s made it pretty clear that he just wants to buy whatever torch he thinks he can make the most money growing and fragging.

Well if that is your end goal then find a cc24k. You will be spending 2k plus from a reputable caretaker and a long line to wait.
