Question radioactive dragon/eagle eyes?

has anyone heard of the 'named zoa' of radioactive dragon eyes or radioactive eagle eyes?

it's for the www.ZoaID.com site.

'standard' dragon eyes are as such:




'standard' eagle eyes are as such:




but i could have sworn that i saw a thread once on some 'radioactive' dragon or eagle eyes. can't find it now though... i believe they were intense green and more of a 'dragon eye' in the sence that there were two main colors as opposed to 3 or 4...

although a poor quality pic (it's taken though my eurobracing and it significantly reduces the brilliance of the shot), i'm wondering if they are something like this?



can anyone help confirm/deny this? and if so - provide a high quality pic that i may have permission to use on the ID site? i can always reposition those to a different location and reshoot them if someone can confirm that it is them or not.

thanks!

as which?
'green eclipse'
or
'radio active dragon eyes'?

the site has a setup for name and AKA names... so i can totally add the oposite name as an AKA name depending on what we decide on!

Hey, I have a colony of about 350+ of the Radioactive Dragon Eyes that I've been trying to sell off to the local reefers for the last couple months. I'm gonna slap the new name on them and see what happens.

Yes yes, of course it was tounque-in-cheek. Although, I will probably send people to your website and they'll find out sooner or later anyway.

Glad to be able to put a pic to the name.
The one's labeled red people eater on the site look like brown polyps lol

Sugestions for the zoaid site... Include fire and ice zoo's I love those

Also maybe add pics of the same morph under different lighting and include lighting in the discription?

Oh and absolutly brilliant idea on the ID site

hello!

i'd be happy to include fire and ice zoas!

gotta pic of a nice shot of them by chance that i might use? (or a link to one that i can hitup the photographer to use?)

as for the lighting: definetly in the works! (and a second goal of the site - to show how the same zoa can look like a totally different zoa w/ different lights) as i come across nice shots of the same zoa, i'm updating them. an example would be:
http://www.zoaid.com/gallery2/v/zoas/meangreen/

and
http://www.zoaid.com/gallery2/v/zoas/safecracker/

also: for the lighting: it's actually there! but it's per-shot, not per-gallery since you can obviously have different shots under different lights of the same zoa (as we were just talking about).

to see the lighting - click a particular picture, then look beneath it. an example:
http://www.zoaid.com/gallery2/v/zoas...tars3.jpg.html

beneath the pic you see both the shutterbug who gave me permission to use the shot and the lighting used in that particular shot.

Fire and ice are the orangish red skirts with blue centers.
Gimme a sec...I'll find a good pic of my PPE's. Pic and link to the pic, feel free to use if you like. They are under 96w quad PC bulbs. I also have some really faded old pics from regular white pc lights if you wanna show what not to put PPEs under lol.
