Not really, Sakuras have a solid gold face while the pink and golds have a speckled face also the skirts on sakuras are more vibrant

It's kind of obvious that it's not a Pink&Gold... If anything, maybe similar to cherry charms but that's it.

You said yourself the color is difficult to maintain when they are not in high light.... same thing that happens with Pink N Golds. Do me a favor, put a few polyps in lower light for a few weeks and take another pic. If they dont look like the photo above, I will stand corrected.

Id like to see that also!

but I've moved my pink and golds everywhere and its most vibrant coloration still wasn't like that.

what would be better is to find out where Pink and Golds come from.

I would suggest that you dip those zoo's quick. They're not looking to healthy.

I have always thought these golden ones must have came from around that region from the look of them. They are the brightest out of everything in our tank by FAR and we have a handful of varieties. Ever seen anything like these out there? Nice thread idea!
