Distinguishing T5 Bulb Type?

Is there any way of determining a T5 bulb type if it's out of it's packaging? I bought a complete tank setup that came with the fixture and like 5 or 6 extra bulbs, but they only have plain white protective sleeves on them. Is there any way to determine what they are from the bulb? Didn't really see any writing/print on them any where?

Should be labeled on one of the ends but if not, you will have to fire them up and see what they look like.
 
Yeah, kind of what I figured. Just be able to tell between blue/actnic and the white. Just wasn't sure if I was missing something obvious.
