Are Krakatoa same as psycho melons??

CoralPedia.com :: Psycho Melons

Looks like it to me

Just showing how rare they are not. Haha

I see what you guys are referring to (kind of), BUT, if you hadn't seen this polyp on Coralpedia and you guys hypothetically speaking "bought" the Krakatoa and they sent you the exact polyp from Coralpedia claiming it was a Krakatoa...what would you think, honestly?

Not on one side of the fence or the other, just being objective.

It appears that They are very close. Hard to say with the difference in lighting. One being mostly blue and the other mostly white. Then factor in the morphing that goes along with that lighting. But unless someone is sitting on a colony of melons the question will never be answered

If someone WAS sitting on a colony of melons they probably are being sold off as Kraks anyway. Lol

they would be able to tank a unpaid full 5year vacation if they were. I am sure someone who has them and if they see that, They will bugg out. That would be funny.

Doesn't matter one bit in pricing. If they are the same as the melons I'm guessing the melons have melted away. Otherwise this would have been brought up before. Sad to see how entire strains can just get wiped out.

Talking about how bright the Krakatoa is and all i see is pictures under blue light. any one have a picture of it just under white light so we can see the difference.

That's why I posted the pic of them together...The more and more I look at them the more differences I see. The size of the Krak seems significantly bigger, the pattern on the Krak is MUCH more detailed and symmetrical, and the coloration on the Krak seems to be WAY more vivid! I myself would say they are a very small percentage the same. We pay more for certain things in this hobby...color, pattern, size, rarity, and health...all of which encompass the larger percentage in how these two polyps are different!

Disclaimer #1: I only use the word "seems"...because I myself don't have them side by side in my tank.

Disclaimer #2: Blasted with blues or not, the Krak is what it is! However, this other polyp looks like it is light years behind from a pattern and coloration standpoint!!!

Just my take based on visual evidence
