Fire Crackers Vs. Magicians

Mr. Microscope · Feb 2, 2011

Is there a difference? Anyone have any side by side shots? I guess maybe Fire Crackers are more orange, but it could just be the same paly under different conditions. Any thoughts?

I have yet to see either of the two personally but have you checked Zoaid for them yet? I have found that to be the most helpful in identifying these because of the different names from different areas of the world giving them different names!

Yeah, I more or less have that site memorized. LOL! No mention of fire crackers on there that I've seen yet.

I have magicians, but never seen the firecrackers. Is love to see a pic if anyone has one.

I think Magicians have the speckled look in the middle, where firecrackers are more of a solid center from what I remember.

CoralPedia.com! :: The definitive repository for named Corals!. Used to be called ZoaID, but they started adding identification for other types of corals, so they changed the name. Great site for reference.

Okay. I found this image that was titled FireCrackers. I agree that they have a more solid center. I wonder if that is just a result of the conditions they're kept under or if they are a different paly entirely. I've seen my Magicians look anywhere some something like this, to specked across the whole paly.
