Thank you - do you know what the retail name would be ie… hollywood stunner, blue moon etc ?

Really hard to tell with that picture. Also doesn’t look to be in the best shape

That was part of the reason I was inquiring- since I don’t know anything about the top one I have no idea what it is supposed to look like

No, I'm not good with trade names. Trade names are just there to bump up the price anyways.

No worries - but the top one does not look well ? - it is really a fairly dark color with the pink eyes - Any idea how it should look- so i can tell if it is improving - the bottom one is doing fine

I do see some dead skeleton; I would need a clearer photo to see if it is doing well or not

These are the best I could get with this cameras- let me know if this helps or I can try something different

More really interested in if it is salvageable- since that is the way I got it - I am no real hurry if it can be saved - but need to understand if it is




Thank You

There looks to be some previous dieback on the edges of the colony, but it seems to be regrowing.
