purple and red cross

[stylaster]

Picked these up and just red ring zoas with purple base. Then they developed the green skirt. Looks like a cross between purple hornet and red hornet
Enjoy!

Those are PHE's I believe. Purple Hearted Emeralds.

They are one of my all time favorites!

Always wondered what they are called, I've got a colony of them. Mine seem to prefer a little less light.

+1 on PHEs. Depending on lighting, the red ring can fade and even disappear, yielding "jokers." From everything I've heard, those two are one in the same...

nice little colony there, i had some and they did like a little less intense light, with more intense light they were not as purple and the skirts were not as bright.

Right now they are about 3 feet from a 250w 20k radium and off to the side. Ill try them with even a bit more shade to see if the colors increase
Thanks guys
