Whats your most expensive coral?

[brownsalt92]

Depends, but probly no more than 350. Since i spent that on wwc bounce. But sps ill spend up to $100 a frag.

Prolly this guy for now. It's my kombucha from Cherry Corals. Not the best pic, but you should get the vibe.

My most expensive is a rock of unnamed palys that had 2 RBTA and a snail attached. I paid $100.

Those palys are called mindblowing paly

This gave me a chance to take a look at my excel program and update it. It seems that $25 is my limit

I have $25 for:

Fruit loops 5 heads
Undata frag - nice purple rim went away in my tank after 2 weeks
sunset milli - this was a really big frag
Green torch - this is now the biggest coral in my tank.

Here is a full tank shot - You can only see one of the expensive corals. It seems the cheap ones grow faster and that is why they are cheap.

I have 2 frags falls under quite expensive category, aussie SSC (picture) and Pikachu. The pink polyp and neon green acros are native to Borneo but rarely available, so I paid dearly for it.

An orange short tentacle plate coral that was about 6 inches in diameter. It's skeleton lives in my sump in hope that it will spawn a new one. I melted away after about 6 months when we introduced a copper banded butterfly. Beautiful fish but I guess it thought the tentacles were worms or something. I believe we paid $350-400 for it. Took the fish back shortly after as well.

This is after the fish found it. Happened overnight.


About a month after that is when my tank crashed. The first to go was this acan colony. About $250.


So after the rebuild I stuck to under $100 as of now to get my confidence back up.

Size has a lot to do with it. $200 colony would be my max out range but my LFS will work a deal for the expensive stuff. But never paying a bunch for a small frag, $60 and it better be entirely incrusted and nice looking if it's a frag plug. Really get a blast out of the cheap stuff that grows into something nice. I got a free piece of Hollywood Stunner and it's grown twice the size of my hand

 

[frugner]

my rainbow acans were $100/head. it started with 2 heads. 3 years later it's 30 heads... so it is likely my most expensive...

 

[marcoss]

My mushrooms for sure! I've been lucky that some have reproduced, paying for others.
