I will come take a look this year. Hopefully find an aussie gold torch :)
How can you tell the difference between aussie gold torch to other gold torch? I have one for a while now so just want to know if it the real deal. Anybody can chime in on this if known, thank

I bought it as aussie, but at that time I didn't care less because it very nice. It displays beautiful gold color and the head are bigger than most gold torch I have seen

There is an indo gold and an aussie gold. The indo has more of a rusty gold colour and the aussie has a more yellow gold colour. All depending on the lighting of course. The ones I have seen have been under t5. I have an indo gold so would like an aussie to complete my collection :)

I know you told me the situation when you sold it to me. At the time, my limited knowledge and research suggested the same, that it is Aussie. Now that i have had it some time, learned more etc, I would still say it is Aussie.

I will also add, I seem to have found the Aussie is a thicker polyp/tentacle or whatever you want to call it. Like a thick pasta noodle vs a thinner spaghetti noodle. Which this also is. Ps. It is soo close to splitting Kevin.

To bad it doesn't split fast enough to go around :(, I got two head after three year and it go to Nighthawk26
Haha, I had a couple torches grow that slow in my last tank (black torch) I wonder if it is just the type that grows fast or if it just depends on the tank...

I have an Aussie gold as well. It is beautiful and the hammers look as if they have been gold plated!
I think @Nighthawk26 may be right about the tentacles being thicker as well, mine are quite thick.

The top pic is taken with the camera app that @Nighthawk26 recommended and the bottom pic is taken with my reg phone camera.

Hammer

An Aussie Torch the whole stem of the tentacle is like a powdered gold with bluish tips.

Picture skills have not improved.

It is an Aussie gold wall hammer.
I like it. It is a beautiful piece IMO.
It is a fair size but I have seen no signs of it splitting as of yet.
