Anyone Still Have Rhizo Corals?

[seth&angelle]

I did a Google search and I can’t find any current info on a sale or any mention of them since 2010. So I was wondering if there are any still out there. Here is mine.

Nice, how long have you had yours? Curious what they are worth now.

 

[reefrider777]

worth about $1000-1500 now if you can find one.

 

[kevgib67]

I don’t want one that bad. Still very cool!

If you are talking about rhizotrochus, apparently, they are illegal to collect and import.

Yep, that’s the one.

the legality thing makes no sense. they didn't know about them so they were never added to the legal to sell list. they are legal in Japan. I had 2 about 10 years ago, but had to sell everything and no luck finding one since

No, corals in Japan are protected, so they are illegal to collect and export. It's just that ten years ago, regulations and enforcement were just more relaxed.
