The ones you thought were hornets look a lot like the zoos in my tank that I've id'd as blue angels. Very similar but not exact. Your first ones do look like the dalmations I once had (until my pistol shrimp dragged them down to the pits of hell and they were never seen again) though it's tough to say as pinks can really be difficult to photograph. Can you Photoshop them so that the pink in the image matches the pink in real life? One thing I did learn about the dalmations us that their appearance changes dramatically with lighting. In bright light the green centers stood out more and in low light they would be more grey/blue and look like a completely different zoa. I'm pretty sure those are what you are hoping them to be.

Yeah same here when the halides are on they have green that shows but when they are shaded they are really pink and purple and the green slit shows big time. I have a few look alikes but their frills on the skirt look off then I got these yesterday and the frill seems thicker like all the pics I've seen and these have the beautiful splatter like the dalmations I'm still trying to find a nice spot for them but they seem to love the light but look way nicer and real true colors in ambint light
