No idea at that size, I have been offered £200 + for a head of my "rasta" lobo, the smallest head is 5 cm across, I said no.
They are very nice, at that size I would give £30 - 50 for the one on the right, it looks more settled!
Yes. Most of the corals in the tank are Indo with a few Aussies.
Luckily there are a lot of non named coral that look great too.
As I consider myself still a novice in saltwater, good looking or "with potential" is more than enough.
Just do what the growers do...
name it yourself.
As we do not see these corals very often, what would be a fair price for it?
Vendors like WWC and BSA tend to carry 'high-end' Trachys with a matching price. I think Unique Corals is one the few that carries colonies and interesting LPS at various price points. They have a few now:

This one stopped growing and showing his coloured tips for a while but is now getting back in action:
Nice Photos, Love the Extra Details !!

Love the photos.
Where did you see that?I just received news that the ban on Indonesian coral export has been removed.
I am not sure if this is a good thing or bad.
I have yet to hear that, but am hopeful. I think it would absolutely be a good thing to get the flow of corals moving from indo again, not just for the hobby, but for the thousands of workers who relied on the coral farming and shipping industries down there to make their living. Can you provide any more details on this info?? I am eager to know if this is true.I just received news that the ban on Indonesian coral export has been removed.

Wow thank you for that document!!! From what I can tell they had a meeting regarding the prohibition of coral and anemone exports and reviewed the request to immediately revoke the ban on such exports for the benefit of the people involved and the continuation of sustainable farming of coral species. The signatures on the document look like a good sign to me but I can't tell exactly from the text whether or not the request to lift the export ban was approved. I will take your word for it, but so far have not seen any news trickling down stateside. I imagine I'll know in a day or two once I have a chance to talk to my import contacts. Thank you again for the news of the meeting and probable alleviation of the ban!Our LFS has some good connections with the coral farms in Indonesia.
He went there several times to hand pick the corals before shipping them to UAE.
The is supposed to be the treaty that was signed a couple of days ago.
Nobody understands the language but it was confirmed the ban was lifted.
There must be some restrictions but first they should change their official language to English....
