Zoa ID - CARs?

Zoa ID - Candy Apple Reds?

I bought these as candy apple reds. Are they? I've seen some pics of candy apple reds and these look a little different.

These are brighter in real life...

Thanks,
Dylan

I was thinking bowsers too at first, but I didn't think so and couldn't find that pic, thanks for showing the pic supermar85!

heres my CAR, look the same to me

They do have a strong resemblance to bowsers, though if not lineaged in some way to the original namer, they should not be called that.

I don't know about the OP's being 5 colors, but the picture on coralpedia does also look very similar. I have 5 colors from a few different reputable sources, and I do not think they look the same as the bowsers and first pic. Mine all have the green centers and a golden/orange ring, but the outer rim is more of a pink to sometimes purple color, depending on lighting. They've never appeared burgundy like the ones posted here.

If there are people with CAR's that look just like that, I would question the lineage and if the are true CARs. I've had CARs for some time and in many different lighting and water conditions situations and they never look that different. The intensity of the red may change, but they always have green centers with a deep metallic red rim and skirt with no median color between the green and red.

I have both the bowsers and CARs and they look like CARs to me.

 

[supmar85]

yea after looking the do look different than bowsers, more like rainbows

 

[Supreme Reefs]

Looks like a bowser to me just needs to color up a bit.

 

[Dylan]

Thanks for the replies guys. I should add that they are MUCH brighter in real life. alott!

 

[Dylan]

Bump. Final decision?

 

[chipcount]
