Purple hornets

[daniella3d]

Those are not purple hornet, just some plain african blue, very common and not expensive.

Purple hornets are very small, grow about one polyp per month on average and have very very obvious alternating tentacles. YOu can easily see it with bare eyes.

Did you actually buy them as purple hornets or do you think that they are purple hornets. At the end of the day it does not matter what they a as long as you like them.....unless your intention is to make money by selling them as purple hornets. I personally don't think that what you have are real purple hornets.....but that's just my opinion.

Pm'd you

Wasn't trying to make money off them, was asking what they go for. I'd by ppl on 2 different sites. Danielle3d maybe they are African blues. They don't look anything like them but hey you see what you see. I do like them, and whatever irk means I wasn't trying to **** ppl off. And if I knew what they where I wouldn't have asked. Did you see them in the buy And sell forums?

ya...there are a lot of these types of morphs out of Africa. I LFS here got a bunch too. They arent crappy but maybe not worth what a true purple hornet is worth.

And worth is a funny statement cause maybe one isnt even nicer than the other but Im betting you didnt pay huge money for that rock were as most people have paid a big buck to get a true purple hornet so I dont blame them for wanting more when they go to frag.

Basically I base what I sell my frags for on what I had to pay to get my original frag. If I found a wild rock of rare collector zoa and payed peanuts for it I personally wouldn't have the gull to mark it up high.

I know what u guys are saying. I did pay a bit for the rock. I didn't want to mark up the price to make huge money, I wasn't even Selling them. I thought I had purple hornets, and I was wondering what they sell for here in Canada. It's all good. I'm still looking for someone to sell me 15-20 polyps of non brown zoas for 20$ though
