Purple Hornets

[JuniorMC8704]

yeah, that whole thing over there was a mess.

the guy over there apparently was saying he got them from aquaden, and aquaden owner (a user here) said no you didnt, and a bunch of people got banned....

As far as marv goes, the pic in my first post are how mine looked the day i got them from marv, and they looked like that everytime i saw them in marvs tank before that...

Now, we could be talking about 2 different marvs too...

nellahtes, I got those from a guy named Mark, not a gal. He said he got them from you. You said they were gotten from Marvin. Those colors are true to what I see with my eyes. The babies seem to come out a little lighter & then darken as they mature.

There's an old thread in the zoa forum here from well over a year ago where I posted mine. They got pretty well distributed to local reef club members and a few people here (aquaden included unless he got the same or something similar from someone else). I'll have to compare the pics for accuracy though. That morph was showing up on a wholesalers wysiwyg weekly emails about once a month back then. And no, I don't have any of them anymore.

All I know is someone who has the real one please contact me, I have the rare St. Valentine Day Massacre Paly's that I would like to trade for apolyp of the Purple Hornets

 

[Mr.Firemouth]

ooooh, post a pic! I want to see what they look like!

 

[MikeB]

These paly's are HUGE. The red is much redder and the black in much blacker than the picture is showing. I have sent a few people frags of these and they were like WOW when they saw them in person. These were originally from MING and Atlantis Aquarium

How many St Vals are you offering for a polyp?

 

[TCK Corals]

A while back when i was collecting zoas and paly which now is just lps and chalices. My LFS had a whole colony of the purple hornet. I really did see any interest in them at the time but if i knew they would sell for like 50$ to 100$ a pop i would have brought the whole colony. They might not be purple hornet but they look exactly like the one in junior pictures. Dammmmmmmm!!!!

Ming sells them for $50 a polyp. So depending on the CURRENT going rate for the PH's...

If you were closer, I'd swap ya one for one. Unfortunately, you're in the sunshine state, and I'm up here in MI.

I guess i could just shove one in an envelope :tongue:

Mine are from a frag of your colony. My guess is the vitamin C I dose is making them bluer.

 

[Pufferpunk]

They slowly melted from zoapox and fungus. Ihad a colony of over 30 polyps too. I need them back in my collection asap.

Mine had zoapoz when I 1st got them. VHigh doses of vitamin C & Furan dips cleared it right up.
See, no pox!
