-purple w/purple tip
-purple w/pink tip
-aussie gold
-green w/green tip

Nice; have you thought about adding some hammers or frogspawn? Especially with wall hammers, there are a bunch of other colors you could get.

thanks! thought about it, i have a green wall hammer (left of the pic) that's growing really big. i put a purple hammer next to it and the green stung the crap out of it and it died...so i didn't really try again with some of the more expensive hammers. there are a few floating around for sale, nice orange one too.

I'll try to snap a pic tonight of mine. I have a nano torch. It's the only one I've ever seen. If you have a regular gold torch you know how stubby they are. This green nano torch gets almost half as much extension as a gold torch. It's not so unique in color, but unique in size.

Here's my nano torch. Not unique in color but size I have never seen one like it. That is a standard 3-headed gold torch in the background and those zoas are WOW/wobbegong/purple hooters or whatever they are calling them this week just so you can get an idea on how small this torch is. It's multiple heads, not sure how many without pulling it out. I think there are atleast 4 heads. It was sold to me at an LFS still in the bag as a Todd's torch but I'd say it's the anti-Todd's torch.

I am just starting out, and have my eye on a pink tip gold torch.
Here are the two garden variety ones I have so far.
Very impressed with the ones in this thread!

yep...i've seen this one before, only once before, and i'm kicking myself for not buying it when i had the chance lol

it was from a supplier based out of Banyuwangi (Java), Indonesia.

Flex: if you're interested, i've got a somewhat unique torch you might be interested in. It's Tongan, very, very short polyps and it branches, tips are sorta beige/orange, the polyps have a green with orange tinge.

Wow that is beautiful. I had a torch yrs. ago but if I brushed against it, it would leave a burning, itching welt on my arm. I don't know if I dare get another 1.

Yesterday online I saw a black torch with gold tips.. I'm not an lps guy especially with sweepers like torches but if I saw this one local I would have paid for it for sure.. Really awesome looking imo.

Those yellow/orange ones are crazy.
