Wondering if anyone has seen this coloration in corns.
Not sure what to call them.

Thanx

I've heard of amels born with partial or complete snow coloration that later gain their true amel colors as they mature. If what you have there is what I've heard of, then the rest of the amel color should eventually come in. Unfortunately I don't have much experience with this phenomenon, so can't give you a positive or negative ID.

Whether it's that phenomenon, or something new, goodluck with em.

I have seen pictures like yours and after a shed or two the colors start to come in showing them as amels. The one thing that seems to be common with the amels starting out like that is that they get very rich coloration as the mature.
So, you just may have some very bright amels to look forward to.
