They could be a really faded BH but its hard to tell. If you look closely you can see the ring around the mouth.

Im not sure either...I would hate to buy them and them be something else...the purple hornets in the pic look to be the real thing

 

[tobey]

did you ask what lighting they are under?

 

[Btortorelli]

no i didnt i prolly should do that...they might be under like 10k or something thats why they look a little dull

 

[tobey]

yes ask a little more about his/her set up they have them in

Should be the same as purple hornets with the inter changing colored skirts but the main difference is that the center around the mouth and inside the yellow ring is white/light tinge of blue. They're also bigger than PH's.

Zooty, those are african blues IE' FAKE BH's

1st hit on Google. I have blues and I can tell that his pic doesn't look like the real blues that I have seen and seen pics of mainly as you pointed out, the centers

pics and lighting makes a big difference on how ones polyp can look in one tank compared to another. The blue hornet you linked is the african blue.

They look like blues to me, if you look at the frag to the left those are the purple hornets and so you can see the main difference in the center of the zoa
