jgf86123 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Still a nice zoo, no matter what the name is LOL One of the favorites in our tank is an unnamed zoo, names don't mean anything really unless you're trying to sell em lol.

jgf86123 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 And I'm gonna go on the record as stating that both Jess n I hate the red, blue an purple hornets, only reason we have em is for resale value, an that the RH an PH in our DT are moving to the frag tank as soon as it's hooked up LOL, just need some tubing, pvc, an fittings an it's done lol picked up the pump yesterday for it.

Emerald525 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 They don't quite look like African Blue steels or AOIs. Call them fake blue hornets!(laugh) Here's a picture of my AOI's I got from Kendra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytshall Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 where'd you pick those up at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Those are without a doubt the rare blue corn nuts. Not to be confused with blue hornets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefSafari Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 where'd you pick those up at? Its a super secret....I would tell you but then everyone would know where to find them...I will just say, I was drinking an Orange Fanta while thinking about the Sea and all its awesome inhabitants...lol Those are without a doubt the rare blue corn nuts. Not to be confused with blue hornets. And now they have been identified, I will forever call them Blue Corn Nutz Zoanthids.....Who wants a frag $279 a polyp....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 WOW $279.00 a polyp i should sell mine now before the market falls. There seems to be alot of these going around as late. Here are mine i got a couple of weeks ago from a LFS. I know for sure that they are not a hornet as they dont have a alternating skirt. They may be Blue Steels or AOI that arent colored up all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
