They are in the tank and opening. They are a darker blue than the ones I had before.

Almost look like a Blue Hornet. AWESOME COLOUR!!!


I Can't thank you enough!

Hey no problem. They do have great color, but they are Steels, not Hornets. If you ever saw Blue Hornets in person you would understand!

Fair enough. All I know is the Blue Steels I had were a very pale blue with yellow rings... these have same markings but color is darker.

Only 2 are open right now. Not sure if they are working in or what. I know it took my PPE about a week to start opening. I moved the BSZ to a more shaded area to see what happens. Maybe coming from lower light they are a tad stressed.

[Myka]

Ya maybe. They have always been open for me. Took them maybe an hour to open all the way when first introduced, and they never looked back.

Here is my little frag from Myka. As you can see, I am battling cyano of some sort and it loves to cover my zoas daily. They require daily cleaning.

The cyano seems to have lightened a bit yesterday so they began to open again.... here they are.

After two months + they are finally doing well. Here is the first shot I have been able to get of them all opened up.



Thanks Mindy! There are even a few more babies growing in the sides now!

Greg.. you are number three! I know someone who has true Purple Hornets... he is gonna trade me a frag for frag once mine grow.. and his.

They have definitely started to do well... so once I can frag them... I most likely will.

They had such a poor record that I do not mind, to a point, spreading them around and keeping them going.

Hey looking good! Oooooh, Purple Hornets?

[lastlight]

That photo is just amazing. Those have to be some of the nicest zoas ever in my opinion. Are mine here the same? Possibly just a much crappier photo?
