Please allow me to beat the dead horse just one more time......
Cameras are very different than eyes. In my experience, one can force a Candy Apple Red to look SIMILAR to a Bowser paly by blasting it with light. You can even produce PICTURES of the two polyps that are nearly indistinguishable from each other, but they will always in reality look and be different in the same system under identical conditions. For example, one of the biggest differences is the consistent sheen and vibrance of the Bowser in comparison to the CAR, but this is hard to show as present or not present when comparing photographs. My bowsers look great in a system where my CAR's look just OK (subdued halides, no actinics). My CAR's look much better directly under Radiums with actinics, and look good!, but still fall short of the vibrance and glow of the Bowsers.
Maybe we can send a couple of polyps away for DNA analysis Maybe if there were more of them floating around we could get better comparison pictures. I'll try and post some flash shots when my frag grows a little more.
