Envy Orange?? (keep an open mind.....>>>)

[Patwa]

OK.....I think of myself as someone with pretty decent skills in zoa identification.....but these have got me really thinking....are these Envy Orange?

my friend's colony...it's definitely orange in colour and they do look very much like the Zoaid pics (see links below).

Envy Orange from Zoaid

waddya think?? inconclusive?? need a better pic?

someone on RC mentioned our zoa is actually an RPE....but I don't think so.....common RPEs and even the rarer form of RPEs do not match the zoa in our pic..ours is definitely orange, no question about it, even the striation pattern on the oral disc matches........Envy Orange is the only one that comes close so far

????????????????????????????

To me the pic looks like RPEs that are a little bleached. Maybe getting too much light.

RPE is my guess also. I have seen Envy orange in person and they are definately neon orange.
E-bay! they will be gone by Friday!!!!

yeah quite possible ........the colony, as pictured above, had just come from a shipment......it's been a while now, so i'll ask him for an updated shot

Try a few frags under different lighting and see what they do. I find it very hard to believe they don't exist outside Reef Envy. Most of the pics I've seen from people who got them from RE weren't that spectacular, but I've not seen them in person.
