I agree with the "hype theory" its just whats new right now. In 6 months something else will come out and this polyp will be around $100-150. When I buy I make sure a) I like how it looks and b) if its in my budget. Rarity isnt a huge factor because if multiple people can buy it and let it grow, its not going to be as rare anymore. I will agree that rare stuff is usually the best looking, but lets be honest its a $10 Darth Maul with a bright green ring. I'd take a hallucination paly or shazaam for 1/3 of the price 365 days a year. I would love to own one dont get me wrong but it will not be until its in the $75-100 range.

I am agreeing somewhat with you on the hype theory... Hype did drive up the price but I think if there was a way for people to see them in person, it would have been worst..... I have a lot of collector z/p including hallucinations and trust me that these make the hallucinations look almost like a common paly when they are sitting next to each other. I guess it is hard to explain with out seeing them in person.

I actually disagree that the Krakatoa is darth maul with a green ring. Full spectrum and hallucination paly would fall into such category as well if that was the case. Look at hallucination, its price tag is still going strong and the waiting list is rather long. For Krakatoa to become 75-100pp price range, it would take a while. Are u willing to wait for 3 or more years for the price to drop? And what if the price did not drop to your desired budget after 3 years? Most of the collectors would prefer to own it ASAP lol.

With everyone saying its a fast grower and hardy it's hard to believe the price will stay inflated.
The original bowsers grew slow and need perfect conditions to color up. The also tended to melt when fragged. Hence the maintained high price. Same for the hallucination. Most of the bigger names had their colonies slowly fade away.
Supply and demand. My guess is we will see the first offspring of the Krakatoa going for the current market price but since it has been claimed by everyone that owns them to grow quickly and frag well it's tough to maintain that "hyped" price. Time will tell obviously.
If there was one colony in the ocean there probably is another.

I would be shaking if I were to frag the Krak. If Krak was really a darth maul morph then there was a big chance that they can be melters. Only time will tell. Meanwhile lets enjoy the hype of this paly hahaha.

I thought it took 500 years for the ocean to produce 50 Kraks lol.

I wonder if the divers that collect use a blue led to collect? If not most zoas would look brown. It would be very hard to find something specific without actinics. KO nightmares are the mother of all this amzing zoas. VDMs, darth mauls, krugers, spectrums and God knows how many more. I hope i can find some at macna for a decent price or trade.

Again crappy iPhone pic.... Sorry.... Maybe I can coax Josh into coming to California to take some pictures...LOL.... You can see that the Krakatoa is much more vivid in color than the hallucination and the hallucinations are bright....
