Sunny D or Vivid Rainbow

[korndogg091]

What are these and how can you tell?

 

[thewackyreefer]

They look like Vivid's Rainbows to me, they've got some of both posted on their site right now. Sunny D's appear to have more green in them.

I agree on vivids rainbows...

Where's Rev when you need him? I always reference his Sunny D pictures; somewhere back in the archives there is a thread on the differences, see if I can dig it up.

I have those. I bought them as SunnyD's :bigsmile:

 

[subdrive]

Vivid Rainbow I think..
I have both, they are different, but really hard to tell unless you have them next to each other IMO.

Here you go; there is a side-by-side shot in this thread.

Sunny D...they do look the same, at least I always thought they did

Here's my Sunny D's on the left and Vivid Rainbow on the right

That last pic is a good representation. The vivid's tend to be a darker more orangey orange instead of a yellow orange, and the Sunny-D's have a sparkly skirt, which the vivid's do not.

Darn, I gotta get the Vivid Rainbows now lol

 

[cmcneil]

vivid rainbows have a black bat wing type of stripe in them that the sunny d's dont.here is a macro of my vivid rainbows.you can clearly see the bat design im talking about

I just picked up some at the MMMC Lansing Michigan swap at a great price. Based on the lack of "batwings" are these Sunny D's??

+ 1 on the vivids. They dont have the sparkle in the extensions like the sunny D's do. Just my opnion though. Ask Revh, he will know.

well it seems half the people say sunny d and half say vivid rainbow, lol. with the side by side comparisions its it possible they are the same polyp morphed a little due to lighting? for example i used to have some armageddons, if they were highed in light they got more red and in lower in light got more black. same polyp but different amount of colors due to lighting.
