I am not going to keep a polyp of these unless he sends one extra..

I will give the polyp away on R2R to one lucky member.

I figured I would post these pics here where they belong. I have both the Devils Aura on the left and Fashionphiles Red Hornet on the right. Hopefuly Rev can take some pics with an SLR but for now these should do.

i have 1 polyp frag/ 3 polyps frag of these...
but this single polyp has better color, dont know why... they're under the same light/same flow.

fashionphiles red hornet

devil's aura/red hornet & fashionphile's red hornet

 

[fashionphile]

those pics came out great Reef
so what do you guys think? Same hornet? New Hornet?

 

[Nanofins]

Nice pics guys. It's quite possibly still too early to tell, but for now I would have to say slightly different morphs. Reef 5etup's last pic definitely demonstrates a difference. However, a few more months in captivity could change this. Who knows.

It most definetly has the hornet characteristics - tight ring, rotating skirt. The polyps on the mother colony are quite large. some are nearing the size of RPEs. The body looks more purple/dark. The skirt is not orangey at all, it is more red with the purple alternating. And of course no big white mouth.
Im thinking its different, but thats just my op - but wanted to see what the masses thought

 

[nicks387]

No way are they the same. I have both. The polyp size on yours (fashion is almost twice the size of the Devils Aura, that won't change in captivity, and yours have more red colors where as the others are more orange

 

[nicks387]

That and the obvious white mouth on the Devils Aura

might be a PH Vs. BH in difference... time will tell...
