Todds torch

ZOAREEFTANK · 06/29/2017, 05:47 PM

Saw a todds torch up for auction on a fb page I follow and was wondering what's so special about todds torch. What makes it a todds torch. Why isn't it just a green torch. How does one know they have a todds torch if they bought it from a place that didn't have a name for it. Do I have a todds torch unknowingly. Green torch with blue tips. Can someone explain the hype about the todds torch to me please

This is my torch that I'm curious of

. Is this a todds torch or is it just a green torch. I read todds torchs are almost a neon green and very bright.
My other green torch is this. Which I think is just a green torch that has no name

Here's my rainbow torch and bi color and another no name pink torch

Todd's torch... real Todd's, has a lineage. Some people care about it, some people don't. It's know for its exceptionally long polyps, slow growth, and high price tag. Todd's originated in my area, so there is a fair bit of it around me. I've never seen other torches look like a todds. Do some have similar colors? Sure. But the look is fairly unique.

I don't see anything resembling a todd's in your pictures.
