Mikeandnicole-
Keep us updated w/ pics for a while. Would like to see what these morph into as they establish/grow in your tank.
Gotta agree- always liked these polyps, and those have some really nice green skirts!

That original pic provided at Donovan's Reef looks like somebody was playing with the "hue/saturation" and "color balance" image enhancements in Photoshop.

Well I must have jinxed myself by comparing them to the size of a rasta because just like my rasta the polyp blew off the plug. I had it in a low flow area and went to bed with it on the plug and woke up with an empty plug. Now I have to decide it I want another when the seller puts them up on ebay.

Still think that picture posted above looks like a hyped picture of Purple Hearted Red-ring zoas.
Based on pictures and input from those who have gotten some of the black hornets, they do indeed appear to have the characteristics of a true hornet.

It's not just ebay sellers, we have some sponsors here too doing the same thing. Check out the one known for the "infamous frag packs". Good guy/shop but has also jumped onto the Hornet bandwagon. You have to wonder how many newcomers get lured into these sales because of the false advertising?
