I haven't seen frogspawn prices go up here. Bought 5 heads of green and purple for $40 last week. As easy as they are to grow those prices are nuts!

Am a bit slow here but why are frogspawn so expensive now days?


Depends what local stores and options you have in your area.

I got a 6 headed long branches octo/frog spawn for like i think $45 ? Each head has split into 3 heads now, so instead of 6 heads now have 18 heads. This thing grows really fast, and the store i got them from has a guy who brings them in all the time from his tank. So they arent very expensive.

They grow really fast and i noticed dont require any real special care at all, when my tank had a mini crash from low magnesium and an alk swing i lost 2 acroporas, but my LPS didnt seem to care one bit.

To be honest though this store has the best prices in the entire Northern Virginia D.C Maryland area. I got a 9 inche long green bubble coral almost the size of a basket ball for $200 minus a 20% discount i had saved up so i paid only $160.. That coral is a $500-600 or more coral easy this size.

Because people will pay it. I won't. It won't stop until people stop paying crazy prices.
Yes if Kellogg's raised the price of PopTarts to $20 a box and ppl keep buying them and the inventory kept rotating....guess what.... PopTarts are now $20 a box
