Sorry for the terrible pic. The skirt is alternating green, but its not solid, its striped on most of them.
I heard from some people that the Purple hornets will morph from solid alternating green skirts to stripes depending on lighting, but I dont know...

Also, I'm positive its not african or japanese deepwater zoos.

Yeah hard to tell from those pics but the first pic looks like a blue hornet.The blues usually have the wider white mouth, while the Purples Ive seen just have a purple center. Either one couldve morphed under different lighting.

The center mouth is actually almost the same color as the purple/blueish face... It was hard to get a pic cause the actinic light was blowing the mouth only for some reason. But thats what i get for cell phone pics.

The middle pics is actually the most accurate cause in real life, the lighter mouth is barely noticeable.

Thx for the input Shores805

Just confirmed with Gary from Reef Pets they are Purple Hornets
