Stratospheres help.. anyone?

[minnowme]

I picked up these Stratospheres from a guy who unfortunately let them suffer under bright lighting, and they lost their original color. I was aware of the condition of the zoas when I got them, and noticed they are starting to coloring up again. What do you guys make of these Stratospheres? Are they worth collecting to you knowing that they will color up one day, but aren’t colored back up at the moment? I’m considering sending this frag to a new home. What are 2 healthy polyps of Stratospheres with this color loss come-back worth these days? Let me know what you guys think of their value, and if anyone is interested- I would love to sell them! I can ship. I am located in Texas. -Mike.

To me, they look like stratocasters. As for price, I cannot help you as they tend to vary

They're just undercolored Stratosphere Zoas. I usually sell mine for $40 per polyp but I don't actively try to sell them.

There's two things to consider when you're selling something and what it's worth - what do you want to get out of it and what is someone willing to pay.

People out here pay anywhere from $80-$140 per polyp. To me, I'd rather help someone that's trying to get into the hobby so I sell mine very "competitive" when I sell them.

Cool photo. I have another frag of them which look just like yours do. Thankyou for advice. I notice that my particular frag is just not colored back up all of the way yet, and am trying to understand what it is worth.

Find out the market in your area, take a picture of the colored down ones as WYSIWYG and then some of the colored up ones to show the potential and advertise them for 15%-25% less than market due to them being colored down?

These just appear stressed and recently fragged. Maybe once they settle they will look alright.

Thankyou everyone for the support. I’m going to try to find these guys a home!
