Colorblind and need feedback: are these purple hornets?

[ReefDoberman]

Any help is appreciated, I found someone selling these and really want to pick them up but before spending the $$$ I want to get feedback on what they are. I am told they came out blue in the pictures but are mixed with a few blue polyps and a few purple.

They look more blue than purple to me, HOWEVER
those are sexy, you should get em!

 

[speargunhunter]

guess they're blue hornets, if they have alternating skirt, they should be them then...

 

[ReefDoberman]

Has anyone seen if the purples really morph blue in the same colony?

 

[CMcNeil]

they look like purples hornets that have been altered to look more blue.

It looks like blue hornets but I can't be 100% certain cause the pic is really SMALL...

 

[ReefDoberman]

Well I bought them so I will try to post a pic when they arrive

I don't see an alternating skirt so I would say no, but they are nice looking

1+ with Fishindude88, no alternating skirt.

If your color blind, does it matter?

LOL, really...

What did you pay for them?

 

[b18glc]

I would say no, but is that a black bmw?

 

[ReefDoberman]

Being color blind in this hobby is indeed tough..... I get by though . I did get the zoas and they actually do have the alternating skirts but everyone who sees them in person says they are blue.

b18glc - yea that is my BMW M3, I sold it recently though and picked up an 09 Mercedes E350 Sport. Needless to say, I miss the M3. BMW is a better car for driving enthusiasts (meaning people who like to observe the speed limit as a guideline).

how much gas is it costing you for your E350? AMG?

 

[ReefDoberman]

The E350 does have the AMG package on it. If I keep it in comfort mode (also has sport which does make a difference especially when you use paddle shifters) I average between 22-27mpg over the coarse of a tank of gas (gas price around $2.70 for middle grade in PA right now). It is actually very good on gas when you consider the size of the car and overall power/performance.

 

[650-IS350]

Ah, I thought about a slightly used E350 AMG before I ended up going with the IS350, Due to gas and size.
