Alright I just ordered this sunburst for 100 bux. It's arriving tomorrow I really wonder if the color is really gold looking like in the picture and it has a red foot too. Apparently it's sourced from the Maldives.

Do you have a link to where you bought these?Alright I just ordered this sunburst for 100 bux. It's arriving tomorrow I really wonder if the color is really gold looking like in the picture and it has a red foot too. Apparently it's sourced from the Maldives.
If it is a wild nem from the Maldvies, then it is not a Chicago Sunburst. Chicagos do not have the marbled foot like the Colorados do - the Colorados keep the marbled foot. The Colorados that I see have brighter yellow tips. Either can turn into a "lemondrop" with just blue lighting but they also will turn back if you change the lighting.
All in all, they are quite similar and unless you want to just farm them, the average hobbyist likely would be happy with either.
FWIW - I have whole pile of Colorados that I got from the original source at Keys, got another one or two from Gonzo when he was still here and a few more as people left the hobby. There are photos in my re-build thread if you want to look and they are all confirmed 100% legit colorados.

Guess I'll know for sure tomorrow.
