What's the single most expensive coral you've ever bought?

[smolson]

One of these for $90.

 

[mindme]

$100 for a RBTA.

However, at the same time it's also my cheapest tank because I don't have any other frags in their other than some pulsating xenia's. So even though it's my most expensive individually, it's my cheapest overall tank.

IMO my most expensive coral was back in 2007 or 08 when I forked over $190 for 3 polyps of PPE polyps, shipped.
Back then the PPE's were the high dollar coral in fairly high demand ( by zoanthid people) and they weren't easy to find.
This kind of set the stage for future buys ( and opening the wallet)

This post really took me back in time… PPE and Tubbs blues ruled the polyp world for a short time.

As for my most expensive coral… I’ll just say I’m addicted to torch corals and leave it at that. Hahaha!!!

 

[ADAM]

Was it a quick decline? Or were they fine for a while and then suddenly started dying?

There’s always a reason…

R$ 220 for this Jack O'Lantern leptoseris frag.

I would have sold you that frag for 20$

Must have been something special.( special gold color? idk) I also wondered about the price listed

Maybe where they are makes it hard to get? It is very odd about the pricing, the gold in the photo does look a bit brighter than other jack o’lantern lepto

Not really sure but probably around $300-$400. Only coral I'd ever consider for more than that is an Acantho

Pulsing xenia
Red monti cap

When you get into collector SPS, price is only a number.

If price is only a number, then bankruptcy is only a word.

If price is only a number, then bankruptcy is only a word.

In bankruptcy, you only have to list the tank and stand as assets lol. Still get to keep the corals!!!!!

Edit: said that all wrong. They are listed as assets, but of zero value. Problem comes if you have previously sold any.

A little over $3,600 for my OG Purple Monster.
