I joined around 2004, started the hobby around 2001. (reefcentral days).
Torches were not that popular back than because it stings other corals. it was not called Gold euhillia. it was called brown or light brown yellowish euphillia . because the color was not that great with MH or powercompact, fluorescent , VHO .. etc..
I remembered that I refused to take free torches .. it looked ugly..
