The difference between RPE and Envy Oranges

[na1paj]

I see a lot of people selling Envy Oranges as RPEs. Personally, I think RPEs are a lot prettier.

here are the photo difference
From Zoaid:

RPEs have a dark mouth in the middle (pic borrowed from revhtree)

Envy Oranges are much differant from RPEs and other morphs of RPE.....

a lot of the rpes I see on the forums are orange. I have the envy oranges myself. they sure don't look red. I've seen rpes, and they are a lot redder.

the orange pe would be a morph of rpe, looks just like rpe but orange instead of bright red.
The envy orange is solid orange, you can't see the dark circle in the middle of the polyp.

i know the differences b/w the different morphs of RPE's, OPE's, and orange enveys...so i'm not doubting anyone's claims.

orange enveys do not have that dark area in the middle, but there are different versions of RPE which do and do not have that dark spot in the middle. so using that dark spot as an identifier b/w RPE and orange enveys is a moot point.

but one cannot come on here and say they know the difference b/c they have them without posting their own pics. and i'm not talking about a picture of an RPE and a seperate picture of an OPE/orange envey. put both palys side by side, and get them in the same picture. at least use some substantial proof to back up your claims.

i've been asking for someone to do this for months/years, yet i've seen maybe only 1 person back this up with their own proof.

I always sort of suspected the oranges were washed out reds, really... makes sense on a color wheel for bleaching! After all, you see that they will bleach a red sps and sell it as hot pink sometimes...
