Holy Grail or Holy Fake

[ghostandhyde]

Here is my OG ASD Holy Grail purchased from TCK. Best pic I can get with my iPhone

These 2 are cotton candy. The second set are grails. Does yours look like any of these

What are all the pics below the 2nd? They owe me money LONG STORY but I was thinking of getting a holy grail. Are those others from ASD website? look familiar.

Here is a picture of neon green holy grail variant vs. cotton candy. The neon green holy grail variant is on top second to the left. Directly below it is a holy grail tiger torch which is bright yellow. The cotton candy torch is on the far right at the bottom. Note that I have three cotton candy and the one pictured is brighter than the two others. Unfortunately this is not obvious from the picture. There is no photo shopping or color correction here. I made sure to include some fish who looks just like they do in real life.

I got the neon green holy grail is the brightest thing in my tank and I got it from Pieces of the Ocean. They now sell it as Jolly Rancher Holy Grail.

What is the pure yellow one below the hg?

Banana Grail Torch from Indigo Corals. I got a double head for $420 in April 2024. Unfortunately, one head started to melt so I cut that head off and this single head survived. Below is a closer picture. It does not show well right now since the arms aren't extended much but the mouth area of the torch is a bright neon green which contrasts nicely with the bright yellow arms.

Purchased from AquaSD about a week ago in person not online. Just ordered a orange lens so I'm still trying to figure out which lighting works best. These pictures don't do it justice. But I am open for opinions if you think it's a grail or some other torch.

You can see hints of yellow. You are gonna need to cook this one for a while.

Here’s a photo I got of my new Holy Grail. The yellow hasn’t come out enough but given time it will (in person however, you can absolutely see the yellow compared to my ultra grail).

The Ultra Grail in question is the one sat at an angle. It’s got a bright green but again, hard to photograph with the orange lense the mouth has yellow striping on it.
The other is either a possible banana needing to colour up or a pink top ultra grail.

Not gonna lie, none of these look like HGs to me.. maybe it’s the lighting or just the pic and they look different in person. But looking just at the pics, I don’t see HG

The HG is harder to tell the difference until next to my ‘Ultra Grail’ (that’s when you see the difference).

Here’s how we end this. Everyone needs to stop buying holy grails as they are easily misnamed / misrepresented / misidentified.

Banana Grails FTW

Bananas are nice but I think Dragon Tamers are better

 

[VintageReefer]

Dragon Tamers are nice! Mines way at the top on the zoa platform. It’s my hardest one to photograph, I just can’t get it to capture correctly. Close but it comes out duller

This bright neon yellow on the left is my new all time favorite, Torch of the Gods. It’s insane in person, the above pic you can see how much more vibrant is is compared to everything else

If banana is true yellow
And
A HG is a neon greenish yellow
Then
The God torch is pure neon yellow with neon green tips

It’s always fun trying to ID torches… then another appears.

Love the Torch of the Gods though.

I bought 2 holy grails by name but totally different
White light no filter

Orange filter blue light

White light no filter…I think pics like this are needed to help identify torches, even if it not how the torch best looks.

Torch if the Gods white light no filter

I bought this one, it's very bright.
