Looking for Purple Hornets

[Xler8n]

I live in Silver Spring, MD. And have been dying to get a polyp(s) of the purple hornets ever since i saw them in Reef Hobbyist Mag.... I dont want to pay $200 per polyp either like they have on ebay. Thats CRAZY considering Zoas grow fairly fast. I guess you could make your money back by reselling them but they shouldnt be that much in the first place. I can understand the high prices of the rare chalices but those dont grow as fast as Zoas. Can some one be generous and give me a fellow reefer frendly deal on some?? Thx

100/polyp is the best ive seen and pretty it will be hard to pay below that

Hornets dont grow as fast at first. I started with 3 polyps, and now have 7. I am doing a local growout for my club right now, so I wont have any till they are all taken care of.

 

[thomasdo87]

yup they are pretty slow growers for me also.

the 4 new ones popped up in the last month, but I had nothing for the first 3.

So far Ive been lucky, I bought four and it took two weeks to get them shipped. In that two week period a baby was born and about a week and a half ago three more were born so my frag has doubled. I kinda want them to start spreading onto the frag plug and then I have some people who are going to get a few.

Thats what makes these worth $200. Is that everyone wants them cause they are nice.
Kind of hard to want to sell something for $50 when you have a line at the door willing to pay $100....

In due time they will be down in price.

The guys driving the Ferrari's aren't tramplin' on those with the VW's, they just decided to allocate more money to a nicer car vs. something else....

I want some too, just don't have the $ and don't want to allocate that much on it....
