Purple Hornets or not?

ryunbaik · Feb 10, 2010

Got them yesterday night along with the red hornets which are confirmed to be not red hornets. Just wanted to make sure if these are purple hornets. Have to return them both if it isn't. Thanks guys.:sure:

to me it looks real , but heck wait for the others to tell you lol

ddiver · Feb 10, 2010

definitely not....wow dude, who sold you these and how much did you pay them?...

nayrgaijin · Feb 10, 2010

These ones look similar, but not real.... Depending on what you paid I may just keep these ones. The ones you thought were red hornets are really common from Indo I think.

did you ask for WYSIWYG pics of the actual frags before having them shipped to yah... looks like those can be PH, but def need some time to color up... it's kinda hard to tell though... if you have pics of them when they're happy, can you post them here?

here's what they're suppose to look like for reference...

It looks like the person you are getting these from has cyano algae and thats not kosher to sell cyano with fake frags at least he could of wiped it away before selling?

Just asking did you do your research on this guy before you buy?

Looks like PH to me..

Maybe those ones are just babies?

They look like PH that has bleached out a little... i hope you didnt pay the going rate for those red hornets you got from that seller :/

Who did you get the frags of purple and red hornets from?

stedfast82 · Feb 10, 2010

wow have seen this before the Indo purple hornet's we have seen this from A coral LFS here here in bradley bourbonnais it not very nice to do this to people spend there money.and get screwed over then the leave the hobby

these look like PH to me. maybe a bit colorless but that could be the picture and lighting. alternating green and pruple skirt, purple disk fadinginto a bluish hue mouth with a greenish yellow ring.

the other ones you got however were not RH

It is possible. They just looked bleached badly.

BayCorals · Feb 10, 2010

It is possible that bad shipping methods can cause bleaching. If the other rh were sold to you as Red Hornets. You should let everyone know who sold them to you. This could prevent other from getting burned from a dishonest seller.
