"Super" Sun Coral

[Dispar_Anthias]

There are true ang pow red Sun Corals.....saw some in HK. You can also see them in the wild, just depends on where you dive - natural regional color variants. The tentacles will almost always be orangish, however.

So the truth have spoken... even more confirm now when bro MB say he spot them in the wild.... And also yiling purposly went reborn to see the sun in the display tank... he say no change in colour.. so what say you shoe, maybe you need an eye checkup

[shoelevy]

he say no colour change... me and another reefer that day saw together say got...leave it to people who see it to judge

as for red sun, its already off the dyed corals list

gotta go HK someday

[yiling]

Hi shoe, yea i went down on sunday just to see what u meant by colour 'faded'.

Stood there for a whole 5 mins, but dun see much diff.

Yiling also agreed it was red.

Dont be stubborn k?

Save up and get an air ticket to HK!!

Actually during these 2 weeks, I did not see and change in the colour of the Sun both in Reborn or Yiling's place.

But I do notice a change in stance.

From: "but let's face it, sun corals only got orange and black"

To: "ok...agree to retract if yiling's doing fine"

To: "you wanna pay that much for sth that will fade and turn orange with time?"

To: "as for my friend being frustrated, well, it wasn't my friend, the sun was in the main tank of reborn...if its still there might wanna check out the sun losing its red colour"

To: "in any case, went checking around a few coral books, still can't find red sun, only orange and black..."

To: "the suncoral in photo in http://www.bomani.com/sunpolyps.html looks pink

can anyone verify if that's red sun?

would like to know how natural red sun looks like because can't find photo on internet and the only specimen i saw in reborn's display was turning from red to orange"

To: "the red sun that i saw and been talking about all this while is not pinkish red but ang pao red...any ideas on such colours in nature?"

To: "he say no colour change... me and another reefer that day saw together say got...leave it to people who see it to judge

as for red sun, its already off the dyed corals list gotta go HK someday"

With the above I guess some people changes colours more than any Sun Corals known in the planet.

bro i still remember.. someone pm ppl for blue sun frag... so I guess you think blue sun must be real but why not red sun since red resemble closely much more to the natural so call orange sun.....

And yeah... i was there on the first day the red sun arrive.... so i know whats the real colour.. Eh FYI it was n ang bao red instead it was cherry red

So I guess this is what we called the "The Sun can be Blue but not Red" mentality.

Pink flamingos are the norm. However I have seen red flamingos.

Hahah.. can I add to this... since I was with WRS (Zoo, NS, Birdpark)...

It is true what bro. fuel says... flamingos are white in reality... but because they feed on certain carotenoid pigment (derived from brine shrimps usually), that's where they got their pink colour from...

At the birdpark, the keepers have to add this as a supplement to feed the flamingoes... otherwise, you will be seeing white flamingoes everywhere in captivity... I went to the storeroom, its interesting they have this processed "red powder" which is actually cartotenoid pigment....

Wild Caribbean flamingoes are the brightest and some in RED!!!! This is probably due to the high concentration of carotenoid pigment found in its food source in natural places...

[seamonkee]

BTW, here's a pix of my transparent sun coral... you can't see it cause its transparent...

it's very rare and hard to spot in the sea cause it is transparent... Anyone want a frag for $100?

nice to see that its doing well!

care to take a photo of it under white light?

actinic kinda makes the red look purple

i noticed that in your thread under member's tank and specs, you said

"FYI, it has been with me for about 1 wk. If it is dyed , the colour should have faded eh?" on Apr 29th.

so up to today, it should only have been about 10days...why do you say its about a month? Is this one another red sun coral that you bought?

the statement should be with you for 2weeks...sorry about the mistake there

Hi Sunny, the polyps of the red suns should be orange. The red suns usually have red tissues covering the corallites walls while the polyp remains orange.

Regardless of 1month or 2week(yeah humans can forget).. if the sun is dyed it should fade by now like what U say or suspect abt the sun at REborn...... So no point correcting on tiny mistake when you din touch the main pt

Oh ya jus wanna know why did you ask for the blue sun frag lolx.....
