What sites offer WYSIWYG Indo corals now that they're coming back into the states? Haven't seen any Indo acros on Divers Den yet. AquaSD has some, but I'm not paying their prices. Haven't seen any at Unique Corals. Where else should I be looking?

I picked a few up at @aquariumcarecenter and @Pieces of the Ocean has had them on their most recent auctions.

AquaSD began at $600, and has now dropped to a bargain $300/piece. I’d keep waiting. What I see for sale doesn’t really impress me, as I’m sure the good stuff is already cherry picked and being kept for grow out. I wouldn’t pay more than $40 for the offerings I’m seeing, because a few years ago the stuff that is “ultra” now is really garbage.

even when I look at sea dwelling creatures offerings (a wholesaler), their stuff is garbage. does anything here look enticing?

England here, this has been in the country for 15 days, three different coloured acros cultured on one base, purple with blue tips at the back.
Continuing to grow, the cities tags are 10 cm by the way so you can judge size, £70 so about $80 ish.
They may not turn out to be anything special, I don't care as long as they are happy and healthy! ;)

Yup, true story. A lot of cherry picking for grow-out is happening.

I have been waiting for LPS to come in and the first batches are way out of bounds, asd has a nice trachy for 1200
that's just insane. He must be struggling to pay the bills.

The LFS near me (Something Fishy in Northampton, PA) actually has them for a few weeks now and they are a decent price ($89 or 2 for $150). Unfortunately they don't ship, so you would need to be local to buy them. I actually bought a milli and a tenuis colony from them.

At least its not a $10,000 bounce mushroom. Or that $1000 chalice that now only will sell for $150 now that the demand has weakened lol.

Indo LPS is easier than Indo SPS for us to get at the moment. We had one mariculture SPS shipment come in early in February and that was the last we've seen, but we are still working to get more soon. We have had 4-5 LPS shipments come in every weekend since then. We sold a 4-5 nice trachys for $199. Below is the last one left until we get our next shipment. It's price is $160 plus shipping.

16 pages of Indo if you want to order online they drop ship from SeaDwelling and a little pricey compared to my LFS in the Bay Area for Indo SPS.

There is actually a few gems on there. I just wonder how pest ridden they will be and if it would even be worth the trouble.
