Good morning everybody. I have had these guys for a while now and was able to frag them a month or so ago. When I first got them I thought that maybe they were Milky Ways but I don't think so anymore. The color in the pic is pretty much how they look except they are probably slightly lighter. Any ideas? I also thought they were some kind of PE, but they really don't have the green mouth. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ben

These have been hitting the market quite a bit lately, and there is still some debate on what they actually are. It has been suggested that they are Billy Club PE, Northern Lights PE, or Great Gatsby PE. When I first got mine, they were very different than yours, and I called them Green Dust PE, but they ended up morphing into the ones you have.

Interesting. I have had them for about a year I think. They just never grew until the last couple months or so. I will examine them more closely when I get home and see if I can get a better pic. (I suck at taking pics.) They were under 250w MH plus T-5's before and are now just under 175w MH with no actinics. They look like the Billy Clubs but the green is much more of a pastel color. Maybe that is just because of my tank conditions.
