yellows

[coralfarm123]

Jovreefer,

Yeah my camera is only 3 mp and not really great with closups. I might try bringing them to the top to get a better pic sometime, but they are solid yellows. No lime or green color. I need to get one of those nice Canon SLR with macro

Twon- I think yours are a faded EE, definatly no yellow though.

Coralfarm- My boyfriend has a 3 mp sony camra (sadly its better than my 2mp) that I use. I foud it takes better pics if you increase the pic size and stand back alittle and take a pic, then crop the zoa out. Takes me a few pics to get a nice clear one but with paitents it can be done hehe.

I just got some yellows this weekend!!! I'm so excited, I'll have to take pics and post soon

Here are my 'yellows'. They actually seem a little more lime in the photos than they do in real life. They are actually a pretty intense yellow (although the disks are really a dark grey).

jovreefer- those are some pretty lime greens, but def not yellow

here is a side view of the yellow centers

LOL put your glasses on...yours are ORANGE AND GREEN! not even close to yellow OR even lime. mine are 100% yellow disks w/lime skirts.

not orange, not at all, i have plenty of those, but ill attribute the mistake to bad photography on my part.

while the first one doesn't look yellow, it reminds me of a pumpkin and is really nice. Pretty cool looking.

Someone probably will chime in with the correct name, but those are just regular yellow polyps (not zoos). I can't recall the name but from what I do recall, they will spread like wildfire and can be difficult to get rid of so keep them on their own island.

if anyone has one of those color cards you get from a paint store, can you please scan it and show the difference b/w yellow, orange, and green. :lol:

 

[Jovreefer]

LOL THANK YOU SURFNVB!!!!!!! I gave up on this tread lol!!!! Some people just have beer color goggles on.

and brad those are yellow colonal polyps not zoa's...I trash a handfull of those things every few months to keep them from spreading...cant even give them away they are so common...sorry hun.

I think many are posting yellows if they have some in it. Although a few I don't see any. I will say though, if I keep mine down low they turn slightly green. I have to blast it with a ton of light to stay yellow. Maybe that's why we don't see many yellows.

i believe the yellow polyps are parazoanthids, and thus belong to the family zoanthus.
One source of confusion, where exactly does yellow end and orange begin? Ever seen yellow ochre? is there a wavelength to measure our colors against so that we can be sure and not offend the zoa color police? I hate the police. I have some zoanthids that to me and everyone else who sees them in person have yellow centers. If you don't think it is yellow, fine, but don't insult my vision and zoanthids with what you erroneously believe to be some divinely bestowed zoa color rating authority. Of course that is my opinion, others will differ. How about the ones in the middle? while obviosly not all yellow, I suggest they have yellow centers. In my eyes they do, and they are the only ones i trust.
