Blondies or fruit loops?

Anyone know how to tell the difference between Blondies and Fruit Loops?

In that light they look like Blondies to me

Yeah I think you might be right... I was hoping they were fruit loops that just hadn't colored up yet... now the search continues for fruit loops lol

They look pretty similar to yours. Mine are just a little more intense. I'll see if I can figure out how to post a Pic.

notice the bright yellow ring between the blue center and the yellow/green middle in the blondies pic. Regardless they are pretty close.

Mine have started to morph away from the "fruit loop" look... the green ring has become yellow/goldish. I'll have to take another pic this weekend when I'm back home... really starting to prove to me that many of the polyps in the hobby are actually the same things, just under different lighting/conditions.

That is totally True! HEck I have the same Polyps sitting in two different tanks that look completely different and the main difference is the lighting. I read another post that dealt with the issue of photo period. My tanks have been at a 12 hour photo period for years. I adjusted one of my small tanks, with lots of Zoas and Palys to a 10 hour photo period and plan to adjust it down to 8 hours in another week or so. In that other post the guy was using a 4 hour photo period. I'm not going to go that extreme but it will be interesting to seen how the corals respond to the change from 12 to 8 hours. Will the colors change? The average size of the polyps is what I'm really expecting to see.

Aquacon.com has them.

Aquacon is lucky people haven't filed a several hundred thousand dollar class action lawsuit against them for ripping so many people off. Do yourself a favor and search the feedback forums for threads titled "aquacon" for some good laughs.

I have the Blonde Hair Blue Eyed B's and they are nice! They look just like that zoaid picture that someone posted. Really nice blue center.

OP sorry but yours dont look like either.

Those look more like emeralds on fire than fruit loops but not sure what light you have them under...
