I remember collecting these waaaaaaay back when. Even red hornets are getting harder to come by.
Good luck! Check some of the facebook groups in the bay area, bay area coral lovers is one i used to get any kind of zoa in. There were some good suppliers.

I remember them too. Years ago, never were hard to find, just a little pricey. I didn’t even know you can’t find them anymore.

These look similar

Purple Hornet Zoa - Live Coral Frag | eBay

Purple Hornet Zoa. These striking zoas feature a purple disc with a yellow ring and yellow skirt. You will receive a 2-3 Polyp frag. Above all else, Whitlyn Aquatics is a passion project, a labor of love; and that attitude carries through in everything we do.

Thanks for taking the time to post @JoJosReef
Unfortunately, one of the defining characteristics of true original purple hornets are the alternating colored lashes (gold > purple > gold > purple etc)
