Hi Guys, i'm looking at some information on these. They're currently selling for £100 pp in the UK ( $131.05 US and $177.65 Aus ) are they worth the price ? and how are they to maintain.

I think it’s one of those questions that it’s worth the price if you like it so much you ‘need’ to get it for your system.

I’ve paid up to £140 for a coral that I just had to have so......

You haven’t got to buy it, but I would! Lol.

I've never seen these before or anything really similar. But I definitely think they are worth $130pp USD. I'd pay around $150-200USD for them if they ever make their way to the states.
I know me neither when I search for them online it's usualy US stores who have them so I don't know I think they're gorgeous

I know the feeling I'm so tempted it looks fantastic

I would be careful with the color. Seems like the pic is altered quite a bit. Could be Rainbow Rastas.

They’re fairly common in Europe. Less so here. $150 is the going rate, I see some sites have them listed for $200pp. They grow at a moderate pace. Seem to frag pretty well. A couple of these are already sold. Just cut last wknd so they’re still healing.

Unless they are altered or using specials filters to bring out the colors. Otherwise, they are beautiful!

Found the phone pics I took of them. No SLR, no filter just a Nokia 3 with a coral viewer dish so the wave makers aren't turned off under radions.

There below the mega rainbows and next to the wango tango's? With a white outline

And on the next picture there is another frag at the bottom on the right which seems to have captured some colour. I was more interested in the seduction zoas :)

The only filter i use is a blue reduction on a cell phone. Not really any lens tricks here. Just need to be able to correct the color of the coral when the phones camera is being washed out by the blue LEDs.

Colors are the same in person to the naked eye :)

Someone had mentioned color alteration about the pics I posted. I don't use a very aggressive filter but I do run reef brites XHO which make everything pop more than just the T5's. Like many zoas you just have to see them in the flesh.

They're growing well for me but I have heard from a few other growers that they sometimes hit a wall. Think I've got two frags available if anyone is in the market.

I hit that wall hard.
Hallucinations were the same for me.
