Morphing Eagle Eyes

Well it looks like my eagle eyes are starting to morph. Instead of a purple ring around the mouth, some are turning bright green. I sold a frag to my friend that had one of these morphed polyps. If they keep growing we are going to call them tomato pie zoas. the red/orange mixed with the green looks like the inside of a tomato. dont ask where the pie comes in lol

eagle eye for that color pattern is a misnomer. they are actually watermelons. and some one who did not know what an eagle eye was started calling them that too. eagle eyes are yellow and orange not greenish and pink. unfortunatly so many people also call them eagle eyes its stuck. thats why I lable the yellow and orange "true eagle eyes" because they are the original.
if you would like i can post a picture of both types so you can see the difference.

I have noticed that a lot in the past. People naming the watermelons or whammin watermelons as zoaid calls them as eagle eyes. Its funny too, if you look at eagle eyes on zoaid there are about 8 different color variations of what people are calling eagle eyes. I agree with reefkpr though I have true eagle eyes and watermelons they are worlds apart.
I believe in this pic the bottom left are True Eagle eyes and the upper right are watermelons... anyone can correct me if I am wrong..
