I thought these guys were like 1000's of dollars. The LFS has a huge scoly for $40. I am not super interested in them, mostly due to their price. Is there something I would be missing? Are there low-end scoly that sell for cheaper ?

It looked like this but it was more of a pyramid shape, but flat on the top.

Might not be a scoly since you said it is a pyramide shape and flat.

Sure it isn't just labeled wrong?

It’s been fragged and that’s the ugly shaped stump.
I would have acquired it if I had been there.
WHERE is it!

Lafayette, IN. I just texted one of the employees gonna have him send me a picture of it.

It is definitely not lobophylia or fungia, just googled to confirm

I’ve never seen them for that cheap. I’ve always wanted a scoly but not willing to spend what they cost. For $40 I would definitely buy it.
the problem is I think they're ugly looking blobs and know absolutely nothing about them and don't have a spot in the sand bed that it would fit. It's like the size of a friggin soft ball

A softball size scoly for $40 just dont sound right. I am still assuming either an error on their pricing or this aint a scoly.

Go ahead and get one they are worth it! Of course thats always my approach which is why I got more coral than money :)
