Hi Everyone!
I have the oppurtunity to pick up some killer lps corals that I like. I know I would be getting a good deal on one, but the other Im not super current on what would be a fair/good price.
The first coral is a 4x2 golden wall hammer I can get for $65 and the other is a warpaint scoly that I was too afraid to ask about. The woman working didnt know the prices and Id already had her call her husband once, so I figured it could wait. The scoly is 3x3+ and was brilliantly colored with lots of blue, orange, and red. My question is what would be a fair price on the scoly?

Whatever you're willing to pay!
That's a great price on the hammer, I doubt the Scoly would be an unfair cost if the markup is similar to that of the hammer.

If it's a normal warpaint i'd say $200 is on the higher end of retail and $100 is like local tank breakdown pricing IMO. However, with blue in it that might change things, sounds like it's an above average warpaint.
Is it is true golden hammer? That's a great deal!

Yeah I sat and looked for 5 minutes. looked for a price and couldnt find one, so I asked. The owner will be in on saturday, so I told his wife I would return. For my first visit to this secret honey hole, I was very pleased.
