Yes
I got a tour of their coral farm too and wow. They have so many crazy and rare corals!

They sold their Coris Formosa for 4000!! But replaced it with a Gaimard which you may see.

Who spent 4k on it!? Was it just gigantic? Why the price tag? To show they had THE formosa from WWC?

I don’t understand some people. Paying 4,000 for a 70-300 dollar fish. And folks wonder why vendors give corals crazy names and crazier prices, thinking that no one would pay such crazy prices…

Yep. By the way, if anyone is interested I have a Super Ultra Multi Rainbow Monochromatic Red Digitata I'm considering selling for $25k per frag.

you can do things right, fast, and cheap, but you can only pick two.

for my part I chose wrongly and slowly.
I totally went Fast and Cheap for my two but since I'm right handed it mostly right?

  1. They didn’t want to sell it
  2. Look at it!!:
  3. 8:00:


I get it’s stunning… But 4K for it is a bit too much.
Then again, you’re talking to someone that wants a Coris that likely isn’t even available to the hobby.
