Ok. I searched the forums and since noboday else is going to say it I will.
What's the deal here? I mean I totaly understand that Axanthic is the lack of yellow color produced by xanthophores. Anerythristic is the lack of red color produced by xanthophores.
Both are the total lack of xanthophores. These two names are the same genetic anomoly. I have researched and searched for a difference and I can't find nothing anywhere. Since when do you find an anerythristic animal producing yellow or an axanthic producing red? You don't because to produce both colors it needs the same Cromatophore the xanthophores. Someone tell me if this is just some crazy joke or what?
