Frags and cost

[watchguy123]

Especially when I just recieved this today. Cost $48

^^ that's a frag!

That is both beautiful and a really nice size chunk. It is interesting how we, as reefers, each evaluate frags so differently. Look at the gorgeous colors on this frag, the price is dynamite, look how healthy with all polyp extension and feeders out. on the other hand, some people hate fresh cuts. Personally, fresh cuts don't bother me, my tank is pretty healthy and happy and fresh cuts almost always do well. And healthy frags like this just seem to always do well. Can't beat colored up frags. I can't really judge the length on this frag but looks pretty darn good and it is probably cut chunky because of its growth pattern being so dense. But the most important note to make, the buyer loves it, he loves the size, the color, surely the health of the frag as well. Bottomline, you want to be happy with your purchase. Congrats on a beautiful frag

That picture was actually taken 1 minute after dropping it in the tank. It had just went through acclimation, removing from the plug, dipping in Bayer, gluing on a new plug, knocking it off the new plug, digging it out of the sand and gluing it back to the plug. As far as size

It had actually had a little bit of glue encrusted when I got it.

That is a great piece you have there PetePolyp! Would you mind PM'ing me where you scored that from?

As hobbyist, our goal should be to share the wealth, spread the love, and join together in keeping our worldly reefs safe through responsible affordable aquaculture trading.

What do you want to know. The price from wholesalers, importers, cost of shipping domestic or internationally. The prices that are being charged by some retailers are extremely high. My guess is someone is paying it or they would be out of business. The retailers market coral by a "Name" and wholesalers market it as "Ultra" or "Rare". Blows me away what some people will pay.

My last take on prices was 2008-2009 when I did my last buying spree. Most sps 1" frags were about $60, and 2" colonies were about $150.
