Default Purple hornets

I've got a nice colony of purple hornets. Some have alternating skirt colors and some don't. What are these things worth? I know in the states they are worth a pretty penny. They grow fairly fast too.

Some do and some don't have alternating skirts. I think it says that above. 20$ for 10-20 polyps so they are no better than brown ones with a Orange centre. Anyone wanna trade me for some regular brown palys with the green centre?

Frag out the ones with the alternating skirt colour and try to grow them on their own. Some people won't care if the skirts are longer as long as you charge a fair price for them.

I'm not getting mad, here in Vancouver I haven't found a person yet that will sell me 20 heads of zoas for 20$ unless they are brown and orange or green and brown. Maybe get 7-8 polyps. That makes me mad.
