The Hornets Nest - Input Needed

[calistyle]

I'm working on making a "hornets nest" and using the available hornets. I have a few questions for your zoa guru's...

Are there only Puple, Blue, Red hornets? Are the ones in my picture below the real deal hornets?

The Hornets Nest - I plan on cutting the plugs down to be level on the rock, just put this together real quick.

There's black, and ufo hornets. But I don't see purple hornets in your picture. Just 2 plugs of blue and the red. Purple hornets and blue hornets are very similar but the purple doesn't have the light blue on the center.

Frag Junky has black hornets but he wants $100/polyp and that is just too high for me.

I haven't seen UFO hornets before.

This is probably why many people don't like naming these.

funny thing was back in the day to be considered a hornet it would have certain characteristics to be considered that.

Ring around oral disk
alternate color pattern skirts

But after it got so wild with the name game and every etailer there trying to get the next new thing, every other polyp that had a ring on it was being called hornet this hornet that... LMAO.

They're both identical the only difference is the light blue center on the blue h. The purple hornet is bluish not purple. Here is a pic next to a purple ppe

[DeepBlueZoas]

Those are not african steel blues

These are and they are completely different

 

[650-IS350]

those bottom pics are the Blue Steel's was know as big time melters, search the thread here for em. or AKA african blue's

 

[calistyle]

Are the ones on the left in this picture purple hornets?

 

[650-IS350]

Yellow/greenish ring around mouth, zoanthid size, green purple skirts, yes....... i would think so as it exhibits the typical characteristics that Purple Hornets were known for

 

[carnophage]

Where can I get any of these?!?!?
