Dena Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Does anyone know what this might be? It kind of resembles the photos of the blue/purple hornets I've seen. Thanks, Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Does anyone know what this might be? It kind of resembles the photos of the blue/purple hornets I've seen. Thanks, Dena If I'm not mistaken....I think they are blue/purple hornets. Where did you get them? I've notice some frags @ RCA as well. I hope they do well under your care. I've heard people ordering them and they seem to melt away. On the other hand, someone locally had them thriving and had them for sale in the forum. Keep us posted.

mdavis735 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 they look like the blue hornets i have.do the skirts alternate color?blue then green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dena Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'll have to check the skirts when the lights are on...which I won't see until tomorrow after work. I got them at Aquadome. There were about 4 polyps on the end of a small rock. You could see the ones on the other end melting and I had no clue if the rest would live, but they were open. The other end of the rock continued to die after I got them, but the rest stayed and I think I have 2-3 more polyps than when I started. They are doing great and have been in my Solana for over a mth. I had no idea what they could be and then I really looked at them and the hornets and though maybe. I've been meaning to post a pic for a while now. Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manhorsedog Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 look like blues to me, do as much research as you can with these guys. Many people are having a hard time with them, few have had better luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it'd probably give you instantaneous growth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdavis735 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 are you suggesting i should try to dose ammonia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 why not? You can measure it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 try it and see what kinda response you get! Better yet, tell them you read about it "on the internet" so it HAS to be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dena Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 No problem hijacking it...I'm trying to figure out if you guys are serious or joking LOL. Anyway, I have another I need help with. It's kind of creamish in color...lighter speckles (no pattern) and a thin green mouth kind of like PPE. The mouth is hard to see in this photo. Oh...the tips of the skirt is a light green...also close to the PPE. Also...the one to the left...organe skirts with yellow centers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
