If these grow out, theyre already part of the DBTC. Also it will be a long time before they are grown.

Thats interesting. I wonder if different color of same location torches can procreate

They are still tiny, so, hard to get good pics, but these are 100% baby gold torches! There are 4 in total, but I'm pretty sure 2 of them have grown together.

Thanks to @max_nano for finding that article on torch spawning! Assuming these continue to grow out, you are definitely first in DBTC line for one of these if you want it!

I knew I shouldn't have posted... I bumped a powerhead during a water change and it knocked the double head loose....

Did it float away?

Yes, at least that's the only explanation I have. It's not there anymore.

Hopefully it found a place and attached

Would be awesome to see someone else breed their gold torches. I got lucky a while back

Wow...that is Uber cool!

@Thales have you done research with euphylia or mostly acropora for spawning? It’s cool Ken got this to spawn without even doing seasonal temp and lighting adjustments

So I did have my lights set for lunar cycles, but that's all. Also I really only had it in my tank for about a month and a half at the time.

Wow that is awesome! So cool that you are able to document the process as well!

 

[Thales]

Cool! How long have you had the parent colony?

Only since the end of Oct.

Here are some pics of my babies after about a year of grow out and targeted feeding.

The last one I had to cut out of the rock it grew inside. That was nerve racking

For some reason I thought yours came from a polyp bailout. Cool to see these should continue to grow!
