Try tasting him...if he tastes like watermelon, it's a watermelon nem. If he tastes like skittles, it's a rainbow nem.

jk. Hope someone can help.

I've seen your "jolly rancher" nem called rainbow/watermelon nem....
and of course all things look better under LEDS.

Totally get that. I would like to see photos of your watermelon/rainbow nem to compare. There must be something that differentiate s them....

its under t5. 4blub blue+ also isnt everything about hype. thats all people do is hype up the names of things and people have a FAD for it. so it sell's, so its not only the hype its people buying them. Thats why prices are always inflated so high.

+1 definitely true. This very thread was started because somebody is looking for a specific anemone that is popular/hyped enough to name it. Same thing is true of LEDs, skimmers, cell phones, blue jeans...

Lol jeans....
I started this thread because I've been seeing a lot of nems at LFS calling them rainbows or watermelons. 1 more expensive than the other but look the same. I wanted to see if somebody here may if in fact have a true what rainbow nems as you cant go believing what you see on the net...
Anyways, if you have one or bought sold as a rainbow please post.

Really why would you suggest this?

cromag27 · Oct 1, 2013

A 'rainbow' is any nem that has multiple colors including (but not limited to) green, red, pink, blue, etc. Bicolors and tricolors can also be rainbows. Then people got really goofy and started naming variants of the rainbow - watermelon, sunset, sunrise, jolly rancher, Colorado something or other, Darth maul, blah blah blah blah...... Its gotten way out of hand. At the end of the day, they are all e. Quadricolor no matter what anyone calls them.

Anyone else remember when there was just rbta and gbta?
