Yea we got it posted on our site, its absolutely stunning in person.I just saw that on some site, I think? Nice one-of-a-kind for sure!
setting new records every weekIt’s no secret that this hobby is expensive and why I told myself I wouldn’t ever spend more than like $200 on a single coral or fish. Especially because it could die on me. I also feel like corals should not be thousands of dollars and I can spend my money on better things but I guess some coral are like designer brands. So…I’m curious how much is your most expensive coral and what is it?
I went nuts one day and bought what I would call a pseudo rainbow Acanthophyllia. It’s red, green and blue. Stunning piece, my fav coral and it’s going strong 2 years in.It’s no secret that this hobby is expensive and why I told myself I wouldn’t ever spend more than like $200 on a single coral or fish.

$7,000 for an Acanthophyllia? That's insane.I paid $600 for a pretty large NY Knick torch colony.
The shop I bought that from had a HUGE acanthophylia, like the biggest I've ever seen, with insane colors. I asked how much it was out of curiosity, and he said it was $7000 but had already been sold and was just waiting for the buyers new tank to be ready for it. It was there for a few months and was always looking great. I went in one time and saw it was gone, and the shop owner told me the guy put it in his tank and it died after a week. Yikes!
Yeah, it was an insane Acantho... Take the diameter of the biggest one you've ever seen at your LFS and then double that. I probably could have fit my fist in it's mouth, haha. And the colors on it were absolutely brilliant!$7,000 for an Acanthophyllia? That's insane.
I have 3 of them, and paid something like $1,200 for a beautiful red, green and blue one a couple of years ago. Only time I've ever done that (and likely ever will). The others were much less expensive, but still overpriced. Can't imagine paying that much for a single coral. Wow.
Is it bad that I call this karma especially in a new tank? Lesson learned for him and why 99% of us won’t ever spend that much. But if someone has $7,000 to spend on a coral that’s like pocket change for them and to me is price gouging on the seller! I don’t care how rare it is. The prices in this hobby are already very expensive.I paid $600 for a pretty large NY Knick torch colony.
