Lets see if someone here can adjust these here to the best color.
Can ya guess what they are?
I tried and cannot, But lets see if someone like Jr or Mike can.
Please be my guest and try.

The fully open one near the bottom of the pic looks like it could be a Purple Hornet, but the yellow ring doesnt stand out too well, nor does any yellow in the skirt. Is someone tyring to play these off as Hornets?
 
Like i said there wasnt much data left in the image.

However, here is about as much as you are going to get out of the current image.

You can email me the original image, and I can see if I can get more out of it.

Here is the results

No these are a fresh wild coral i just got in. They do look like hornets.
They need time to settle in. As you can see they are tiny yet and yet to puff out. Half of the people selling the hornets dont have lineage and came from wild stock.

JR yeah i suck. If you can give me a cuple pointers to set my camera at to get a better pic i would.
 
From what i can tell from the pick they look like the hornet knock offs that have the brownish skirts. That is not to say they might morph into them in the right tank conditions.

Impossible to be sure, they very well may be the real deal blue hornets, as the center looks to be lighter than the rest of the body.

I do see some yellow developing on the skirts on a few polyps, Very faintly. The ring is more defined, but faint as well. Better adjusting may show that.
I just gotten these today so they have to heal up from shipping. The place i got them from only had them for a short time as well.

What about this pic? Amazing what ya can do if you know what youre doing.
Pic IS from the vendor I bought them from. You can see the yellow a little better from thier top down shot in the skirts.
