I'm not here to argue the price of these, but I do have one concern. I understand how the market of corals Works. Things that are difficult to grow can often be expensive. They can also be rare for that reason. Question I have is about why this particular Coral is rare. Usually once a rare Coral comes to the market, it will slowly come down in value as more and more sources of that Coral begin competing against each other for sales. I haven't really seen many people selling these and that's what concerns me. Are your customers having a high rate of death on these corals, not getting any reproduction at all, or what? I'm just saying I wouldn't want to put this much money into a coral if you are the only guy that's been able to keep them alive for long

Oh boy............ rare these are not commonly found at most frag swap for 150 bucks for a good one. They are collectable but not rare they are about as rare as sherman's rbta maybe even less. Your either bashing newbie heads or your area is as dry as a indo export dock.

Lol like i said bashing newbie heads...... you can find these all day for 200 or under shipped. Not rare anymore bud and since the csb craze has taken off these arnt nearly worth what they use to be. And cornbread sells everything at high prices because hes corn bread lol are you serious right now? He also sells high end sps for 500 bucks for an inch that can be had from normal nice folks on here for 150 shipped. You are truely diluted. Learn trends and learn so ethics.

The Original Poster sold them all and posted that he had on January 14th. The ones just posted are not black widows, but look nice. If you are interested in getting something from the OP, I would suggest sending him a PM, but other than that this thread has been left for dead with all available sold for over 2 months.
I am still here,,,[emoji16]...how the nems I sold you...?
