Touche'
You ever watch that new game show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader"? Everywhere I read about Axanthic it was stated that it is the condition caused by the lack of xanthophores. (Axantic - xanthophores) I never even thought to do a search for xanthic. I did not know it was a word it'self. Well just when you think you have it all figured out. Here you come and now it's just as big a mess as when I first started trying to figure it out. So now I figure that Axanthic and Anerythristic are basicly lack of yellow pigment, and lack of red pigment. Both may or may not be caused by lacking xanthophores but most likely would be.

Thanks very much for all your help Paul

Cheers, Celt
