Both frills are green so they do not alternate like Blue Hornets or Purple Hornets.

Thanks, Chris

No the look alikes I bought three colonies of about 80 heads for $30 each. Was kinda hoping #2 was Sunny D's just not fully colored up.

I hadnt thought of that but it is possible I guess only time will tell. I would love to find a good deal on sunny D's around here they are $30/polyp

I can find them around here for $25 a polyp. Only 2 people one from a LFS and one private guy has brought them in. I am though hoping #2 colors up. I have placed them under a 250W halide to see what happens. Also got that whole piece for $30.

That is a possibility . I did meen to mention the green in the centers is more vivid. I can't seem to catch the real color in the photo.

I don't think they are Blue Steels.

I have had them before and they did not fair well for me. These look more like a Hornet nock off.

Here the average price for colonies is about $40 . We don't see the highend stuff to often. Two of the three stores I frequent sell that stuff in the $70 range or frags it and sells frags of 5-19 polyps for $10-$15. The other place I go to the highest they charge is $40 no matter what it is and if it sits there for a week or two it goes down to $30. The people who go there are mostly looking for LPS so Zoas and Palys don't get bought to quickly.
