heres some rastas I've got. Just looked at a pic on zoaid and mine aren't really the same. can't remember who I got mine from...but can they just be browned out?

Either way those are Sick!!

How big are those polyps?

For now I am going to say no, but polyps can morph quite a bit.

macawmagic · Oct 19, 2009

they're small...like pencil eraser size. maybe a little smaller.

revhtree · Oct 19, 2009

Well may very well be them then! They looked big to me, but being that size then I would lean more towards yes.

Hmm after looking a bit more, I am not so sure..LOL!

yea...some of the skirts show a little bit of green in them...but they're majority brown skirts. hopefully I could get the skirts to being green!

for those of you with rastas...high or low light?

IMHO, a morph of Rastas... not the rastas we've seen before... but regardless, I wouldn't mind having those in my tank...

They are nice , but I think they are morphs.

This what mine look like.

It's probably a morph but not the original the folks are accustomed to seeing as a rasta, but tank parameters and especially lighting has effects on how one polyp will look in your tank compared to someone else's tank.

I have those exact ones. The very tips will turn green under more lighting but the color of the rest of the polyp has stayed the same for me. I also have the one on zoaid.com that everyone knows as rastas and there's no comparison. They're both right around the same size, which is pretty small.

got mine from Marvin probably at least 2 years ago now. yours are sweet but i think they have a lot more orange.

They look more like an ultra expensive Whammin' Watermelon or Eagle Eyes. If I'm going to pay Rasta price for it, it better not look the slightest different from the original.
