What is the best deal you’ve gotten on a coral?

[Lavey29]

Haven’t gotten a lot of corals yet and I have seen better deals on other corals but out of my purchases, my indo ultra green was a steal. I got one with 5 heads and amazing color for $200

Not sure where you got yours but I got a similar yellow tip ausie that was supposed to be 2 heads. It showed up with 8 heads and is bigger then a softball in the tank like 8 inches around.

Does free coral count?

Many free stags.
I got this now 18+ head frogspawn for $15 over 5 years ago.
I gave away 1/2 of it when it out grew my 25 nano. Had it in my 120 for a year and now in my 45 frag/lagoon system.
My clown has been in it the whole time for over 5 years now.

Nice pickups but those aren't neptune bounces. Those are ricordea yumas

Yeah, that’s what I thought, but I didn’t want to rain on anyone’s parade. Still a great deal for $10. I picked up a nice little blue/yellow/orange Yuma for $10 a while back and it just dropped a baby this week, pretty stoked about it.

edit: also picked up a nice little bubble coral last week for $25 and a decent sized colony of red, white, and blue Micromussa amakusensis (15-20 heads) this week for $50. Been finding a lot of great deals lately.
