I say If you like it and the price is right to you then go for it.

Then I'll go for it, just not yet, recently ordered a plethora of corals.

You can probably find that same coral for less if you're patient. I have it myself. It's a nice chalice and grows well.

Wow I bought this coral 8 years for 60 an eye.

Wow...I had a 12" dinner plate and sold it for 100$!

Now that's what I'm talking about..! Awesome..

IMO $100 it would have to be a colony. I love Miami hurricane but they can be had for less than $30 for a 2"x2" frag.

I think the market average is around $40 per frag 1-3 eyes. But if you want to spend more you can get this gem the Jason Fox "My Miami Hurricane" chalice. So nice!

Oh and I forgot. I think some cal the regular miami hurricane chalice. "Pumpkin Chalice"

 

[Joe reborn]

Yes Pumpkin Patch

My miami is still on my wish list. It may never get down to miami hurricane price but keeps getting more affordable. Hey 2000$ an eye at one time.

I'm in Canada so nice chalices aren't as common. Maybe in the US this thing is common, but I don't know if it's a common in canada. Maybe a canadian might find this thread and give me some insight? But I doubt that'll happen.

As mentioned the chalice name is miami hurricane or pumpkin patch. Same chalice two dealers gave it different names. Common old school chalice but still one of my favorites. Originally was green bodied but turned blue under aquarium lighting. The eyes are the name feature. They start yellow and changes different shades until they hit bright red orange. A large colony will have several dozen eyes each colored a different hue of yellow to orange. Very pretty and another bonus it is a fast grower.

Maybe 10 Years Ago.

I have gotten Frags of this Chalice for 10.00 so 100.00 is Insane.

Tons of people have them and they grow very fast.

Also, How Big is the Frag?

Some people charge by the eye which would make it even more Insane.

I got 10 Eyes for 10.00

I actually know a guy who straight up threw out a Miami Hurricane that size because he could not get anything for it.

It went right to the Garbage.

It is a Shame since it is a Really Nice Coral.
