I have had my Aussie gold for 3 years now just fragged off two heads they grow so slow
they're stunning. I love how the tips seem to change shades. Sometimes the tips on mine are more purple, other times more of a light blue

I have had my Aussie gold for 3 years now just fragged off two heads they grow so slow
Bought one had couple years ago. Now I count 10 hands. One of my favorite.beautiful!! how many heads is that momma
There is a couple different types of aussie "gold" torches. I have had 2 of them. The teal tip looks more like what your describing, the ultra which is the known melter is gold tentacle with blue tips and stubby. I have seen ultras without all gold tentacles but rather have gold striations which I had one for 4 months and poof in 3 days it was gone. I have spoken to at least 7 different people who sell corals for a living and they all knew about issues with aussie golds melting and most of them stayed away from buying any. There's also a longer tentacle Aussie gold that is real nice looking I have seen them with a purplish tip, could be lights affecting tip color, to blue tip. I know lights play a big role in how a camera picks up the colors in a torches tips. The first picture is the Aussie gold melter second is a 5 very large headed colony of golds. They were in the tank together. No other coral died when the gold melted and I have no known or provable reason as to why it did melt.they're stunning. I love how the tips seem to change shades.

Nice looking Torch everyone! Here's mine, nothing fancy. I just like how long the tentacles are:

is that a bubble coral on the far left?
A smaller version bubble- Pearl bubble.
Actually, it seems like those long wispy tentacled ones are indo, which makes them pretty special.
Actually Brian that green mouth/base or toxic mouth, purple tentacled pink tipped is an aussie snake skin. That's what I've seen the lateral striations called when they are on the tentacles. Austin aqua farms uses the "snake skin" terminology. I think it works for, while I am not a big fan of names, we have to have a way of describing the torch for buying and selling purposes. I have 3 very similar pink tipped toxic mouth/green mouth aussies. Aquasd has them on their site as well. They are actually quite stunning in person the contrasting base bright green with purple and pink.
This is my only other torch. It has pink tips with a green base.. has a "veiny" pattern all over its tentacles too. Pretty sure its an indo
