$ 650. Rainbow PD Blasto, single polyp with 4 babies. Just got it today. Seems good so far. Great seller so I expect it to come out the way it should

SSC mini colonys in first pic around $150aud because theyre high demand for export, i paid $80 for that mini colony in 3rd pic, green/purple with blue tips
Generally 100-150 for a piece the size of your fist depending on colouration

Got this $250 and yes it look exactly like the picture. Actually I waited a month or more after buying it and got a bit bigger and encrusted frag.;)I generally get all of them from reputed vendors and members here. All my frags are from this forum members no local purchase. I have bad experience from a very reputed vendor but never complained about it. I just now don't buy from him.

That colony has some of the prettiest colouration I've seen in a while. It's nothing over the top, but comes together with all the different colours to form a beautiful colony. I have a completely different taste in corals than a lot of people.

275 for a RR Sunkist...arrived brown, and died a month later. Reputable vendor, think it was just bad luck. I totally cried though, which hubby didn't get bc he didn't know how much I spent lol
