Little point-n-shoot camera was white balanced, so color is fairly close.

Thanks for looking.

Does the outer ring get purple at all under actinics? If so I saw some just like these at my LFS. I'll be up there in next day or two and can ask them if the answer to my question is a yes ;)
 
King's need that blueish purple ring next to the skirt don't they???

Edit----- ok I zoomed in and it's light but there so + 1on King's lol

I’m not convinced that they are King Midas because the pictures I’ve seen, the tentacles are considerably long with King Midas. The tentacles on what I have aren’t that long.

I’ve been perusing Coralpedia and the closest thing I’ve found is 007 Golden Eye.


Dsdaley, I’m running LED’s and don’t have actinics so I don’t know about the purple thing.
 
I’m using Coralpedia, and again, I just don’t see King Midas. Is there some other reference I should be looking at? Here’s what Coralpedia has on KING MIDAS and here is what they have on what I think it looks more like…..007 GOLDEN EYE. What am I missing?

Again, thanks everyone for the comments.

Hey Paul we can put some in my tank under t-5's and see if the purple comes out.lol They look nice whatever there called. See yea at the swap.
 
Third row, second pic. Bingo, maybe I'm just blind but it seems a perfect match. CoralPedia.com :: King Midas

I do not have a purple fringe or a purple mouth. The fringe is the same color as the body of the Zoa and the mouth is, if anything, white.

Here’s another picture, white balanced, under blue LED’s only:

And here is the King Midas you think it is (from Coralpedia):

main.php



And Curt, stop by…before or after our swap, and we’ll scrape off a few….you’re welcome to them.

And here is the 007 Golden Eye from Coralpedia (the one I think it is):

main.php



EDIT TO ADD:

Oops....I didn't go down three rows....so here's the one three rows down and two over:

main.php


But I still have a problem in that this sitll has a fringe color. No fringe color with the ones I have....all the same color as the body of the zoa.

I don't think the two pics you posted of Golden eye are the same morph. Someone was confused when submitting their pic, very clearly different color skirts. However I do think you have the same as what I am dubbing 'mis-identified goldeneye' you posted a pic of.

I'm confused....easy to do....so what do I have....mis-identified goldeneye.....what does that mean?

Ok, I should have looked before I posted. I thought you were saying that the 'opps edit to add' photo was in the Golden eye folder but I just checked and it is king midas, My apologies for the confusion. They look identical to that photo to me. I'd say King Midas.
