Sunny Ds

[Branespikin]

Got these sold to me as Sunny Ds. Never really thought about it much as im new to zoas but just saw a pic of Sunny Ds and mine dont look like the ones in pics. So are these Sunny Ds? If not anyone know what it is?

Not sunny d's I've been seeing these a lot. No name I can remember but I'll be paying attention.

 

[Branespikin]

Well aint that a shame. Got them long ago but never really thought much till now. Paid i think 60-80$ for this

Thx

They remind me of my yellow palys.

 

[Branespikin]

No its not those palys. But do see the resemblance

How many polyps was it when you bought it? Its not a great pic so its hard to tell. To me they are looking like Nuclear Halo (the name I couldn't remember). Understand this pic is very blue lighting...

And these would be sunny d's....

Those are actually Nuclear Greens, they sometimes get that purple in the centers but usually go back to full green eventually I think its just a lighting thing but when they are in their sweet spot they look like this...

This pic is a better representation

Ill try and get a better picture in the morning when my whites come on. But they are yellow not green. With like a purplish dot in middle

I got it like this few months ago. Maybe a polyp or two grew but thats it. Now i need to get me some Sunny Ds

Well you have a perfect pic of sunny d above, so they will either look the same or not. I'd lean toward the halo. They are smaller and similar in size to rastas and bambams so it looks right in your pic. Typically sunny d are more of a paly (opinionated term), but similar in size to Car's, utter chaos, latin lovers, rainbow infusion, etc.

Also the halos are similar colorwise to the RG vulcan blood. Difference is the vulcan blood have a much bigger blue mouth area. otherwise same color though.

They def are not Sunny Ds. They do have a very close resemblance to the Halos but they are not small. They are one of the biggest in my tank. See the bam bams right underneath them and my rastas to the side. These are much bigger than them.

Interesting. Please tag me so I come back if you get a better pic!

 

[Branespikin]

They are one of the largest polyps i have

 

[Branespikin]

Ill get a better pic with my DSLR tomorrow

 

[Triggreef]

Nice you got some good ones in there. I can see its the zooming thats messing you up. You should snag one of those nikon waterproof cams! I want one really bad lol.

 

[Branespikin]

Thx. Yeah just started with the zoas but did get me some nice ones. Got few more not in this pic. Gonna google that Nikon. Looking to grab a new camera

Here are some close ups in daylight @Triggreef

I would call those sunny d's, just not the best colors. They look healthy just for some reason not showing great coloration but could certainly improve over time.
