Candy Apple Morph?

[buddythelion]

Hey guys,

I got these new morphs thinking they were Red Galaxies/Bloodhunters, something I already had. But the longer I looked at them the more and more they didn't seem to be the same, it didn't sit right with me. I noticed the greenish hue in the center vs black in red galaxy/bloodhunters and that they had a greenish tip, typical of the candy apple morphs. It's got that blue mouth as well.

Any ideas on what they are? It really does look like it would belong in the candy apple family of palys.

But there's no yellow. Just blue mouth, tiny ring of green and then BAM, solid orange/red everywhere. And then the skirt is the typical orange/red with black bandings and then green tip.

Pics time:
(Sorry for the bright light, they're in my frag tank for photo shooting):

Here's a colony shot:

Close Up:

You can see the green marks on the skirts, typical of the candy apple morphs and the solid lines of color in the center, along with the blue mouth.

And for good measure, a pic with a tile for realistic color comparison, which I tried my best to get.

Thanks my fellow zoa nerds!

Rich negret has something that looks similar IMO on eBay. Full metal jackets I believe. I could be wrong though. Check out his completed listings

I can't find any of his listings on ebay, but would be cool if it's Metal Jackets. A google search gave me these:

Thanks! Idk about frags yet, the green needs to become more prominent!

I think I have red galaxies, here's the ones I have. Love the skirts! The centers get speckled sometimes. I'd be down for a trade, once I learn to ship!

If theyre not red galaxy then theyre extremely similar. Im not seeing the green oral disk, just the mouth. Not that I'm trying to downplay or put a value on your coral, just properly identify it. They were fairly common a couple of years ago but latel I havent seen too much of them. Nice find.

You're right on that, they're diff after a second look. The galaxy also has speckled not just near the mouth but where the straight red stripes are on mine as well. I like your bowser pic, but when you had the car vs cao vs bowser pic the part I liked the most was that are between the center and skirt, how it just was solid orange (from what I can recall). Can't see that in your avatar pic.

Sorry I dont follow you there. Any variation between my avatar and the picture you are referring to is likely due to comparing a frag to a healthy mother colony.
