Good. Maybe I can get a gold torch for
$10? Or maybe they will give me one just to get rid of it

Tons of Euphyllia in my LFS for the longest time. So many dying miniature gold torches for around $100. And all other torches are about $10-15. If you want to pay ten times the price for a dying torch the size of a golf ball, be my guest.

i dont know why so many tried to say that costs were going to stay the same if not increase. i dont think folks understand how much indo is being aquacultured here in florida. Its honestly mind blowing.

Now that coral is coming out of Indo once again. The frogspawn, torch, and hammer prices are getting better.
I didn’t think many, if at all, LPS would be coming out of Indo. But lots of mariculture LPS pieces are coming in. The overall prices of corals has gone down in Asia. Perhaps it’ll trickle down in the States and elsewhere.
