the pic isnt great, so that it why i questioned it. i looked at zoa id, and they looked real to me under the assumption that it was not great lighting.

If you have bright light's with lots of blue they are a perfect solid medium purple and bright neon yellow skirt that each tentacle on the skirt alternates color from 1 purple then 1 yellow
I would say they are real but questionable due to the pic |

I'm looking at a picture of the originals in Reef Hobbyist Mag, 2Q '09. I believe these are the real deal, but I agree that they are not under high quality lighting.
Of note: The article says one of the original owners let his color up under a SE 20K Ushio 400W and got a lot of purple coloration, while another who grew them under T5's saw more blue come out in the polyps. |
