alright... BubbleGum Monster Vs. Original Mummy Eye... what's the main difference? is it just the bluish rim that the BGM forms? I've heard that the BGM grows pretty fast as well... the OME is a pretty decent grower for me... my first frag came from whodah but lost the whole thing back in Jan 2007 when I moved... got another frag in July 2007 and have been growing her ever since... :)

pics would be awesome.. I have the OME already..

I think the main difference is the BGM has less tubercalue or bumps with the blueish base and the OME has more dense green/yellow tubercalue or more dense bumps on the base, that is one aspect aside form the blue hue to teh BGM and the yellow hue around the eyes on the OME

The less dense tuberculae on the blue base is what Reeffarmers states to be the defining feature of the BGM.....
