Could be that under LEDs these corals "look" different? i.e. different coloured emitters shining a rainbow of coloured lights on them" giving them a "rainbow look" compared under say metal halide. The one pic I see in the LF thread is for a Indo "gold" torch, so could even be that "rainbow" torch is another name for "Indo gold" torch, to differentiate it from the more golden Aussie variety. Confused yet? I vote that marketing does come into play.

That could make sense.

Definitely a big transition over the last few years from MH/T5 to LED.

So some corals we've had around for a long time may very well all of a sudden look a little different.

That's interesting food for thought.

I also wonder if the steadily deceasing variety of corals that are allowed in the trade somewhat force distributors to get creative....

Its all marketing.
Like some vendors are now rebranding gold torches to something new and exciting so they can charge more.

It's not, that's all the site has ever had on it.

It's from an episode of how I met your mother way back when.
