[reefpeeper]

[subielover]

Not blue hornets, but nice anyway.

 

[snk713]

Not sure, nice though.

 

[aerius007]

nope, but worth $5 a polyp

 

[rock_lobster]

No they are not blue hornets just but they sure look close

 

[softiegirl]

i believe they're called caribbeans. beautiful coloration, much nicer than the hornets IMO.

 

[litenyaup]

[aerius007]

[litenyaup]

sure they are....i have a huge colony look at my pics

Not Tubbs Blue or Blue Hornets. Tubbs Blues dont have the ring around the mouth.
I have never seen that polyps before, nice and well worth 5 bucks a polyp.

like everyone who asks when you only have a few faded polyps of something that just are not coloured up properly you should wait and see how they turn out.... then a posative id will be easy

most people dont just understand that a few polyps of anything are not very stable until they grow some, their colours will get better with stability......

thay look like tubbs to me...the ring is not as bold on mine, but tubbs none the less. blue center with the slight touch of green on the arms.

this is a classic comment error (no offence), wat looks like a ring is in fact just faded blue nearer the mouth giving an impression of a ring... take a closer look....... wait until it colours up and grows some.......

I agree in most situations. But, the polyps that are posted have a ring in the middle, around the mouth. Even if the polyps color up the ring will still there. Tubbs Blues do not have a ring.

these are my polyps and the ring is yellow color when you see it in person. they also have an alternating skirt.

 

[Reef Pets]

Sorry, I dont agree and no offense taken.... Of course its not worth the agruement but from what I see in the photo the colors goes from light blue to a greenish colored ring to dark blue.
The light colored ring seperates two totally different colors.

Looks like Tubbs Blues in the top left of the photo.

I was going to say yellow but was not sure. When looking close I see the yellow tips on every other tentacle of the skirt.
Very Nice!

Could be a form or morph of Kig's hornets?
