Whats the going price 4 blue hornets

[scuba guy ron]

I would also like to know if there are any cheaper knockoffs to the purple hornets and what price to expect.

Are you talking about the REAL blue hornets or african blues that some were trying to pass off as " blue hornets ".

Second mortgage on your house!!!

How about both. I love the look of the blues period. can you give me a price on both as well as a link so I can see the difference?

Here is a very long thread about the "knock offs"-

I wouldnt pay more than $1/polyp for these considering all the info. From what I have seen around, they can be gotten for this price, depending on where you live.

I will be trying some (maybe this winter, if they can still be found) but I would do so at your own risk.

 

[SIR PATRICK]

I am still seeing the real deals hornets going for around $50/polyp. Check around, and you might find them cheaper, and definitly find some much more pricey.

Just be carful you dont acidentaly get taken and end up with the blue steels for those prices.

Ooops! Just noticed the thread was already posted by 650....

I thought the link was to a picture....

 

[scuba guy ron]

not trying to spend 50/polyp. i'd probly be happy with the knockoffs for cheap

 

[650-IS350]

Or you can sell some of your propagated coral to get the money needed to buy a polyp or 2 / trade some of you collection to someone who's willing to trade for them.

 

[scuba guy ron]

so how much can I expect to pay for a 10 polyp frag of the knockoffs?

 

[650-IS350]

$1-$2 a polyp maybe... depends on supply and demand in your area or what online vendor you buy it from.

Here are my purple hornet knock-offs.

I'm satisfied with them.

 

[handfed]

those are LA lakers I believe

I think they have also been called yellow Japanese deepwaters.

Knock-offs, etc. Call em what you will those are darn pretty polyps, but not worth $50 each.

I got some nice african blues (AOIs not true hornets) on ebay from the fishguyfrags
http://cgi.ebay.com/Zoanthids-Zoant...aultDomain_0?hash=item3ef7f312ff#ht_500wt_956

they are listed at $20 for 5 polyps...I think I got real lucky cause I order 3 units...one frag had 6-7 polyps, one frag had 15-17, another had almost 30! Not sure if they would be so generous again. Apparently one of the guys that works their has them growing in his home tank. I emailed 2 other people who bought the same from them and they were happy...no melting cause they have been established. Only issue is that these guys don't know how to ship in cold weather...I had to send them a heat pack and then the box it came in just had thin packing foam cut in pieces around the box...not styrofoam and not a tight seal...good thing it wasnt too cold when they shipped.
