My choices tend to be dictated by what I can afford. I couldn't swear that I'd never pay this amount for a coral/fish if I had money to burn...

I think a $30 coral is expensive! :eek2:
The scoly is very beautiful, IMO. I'd love to have it. But, I wouldn't drop 1k on it, just as I won't spend extra cash on any coral just cause it's 'prettier' than the rest.
Thats nuts, I just bought a beautiful bright green and red for $175 yesterday at a local wholesaler who does some retail on weekends and I thought that was a lot to spend. 999 thats nuts. I also picked up a mated pair of flame wrasses for $150.00, and a pair of mated watanabei angels for $250.00.
He is also working on getting me a black tang under 350.00. There are still some reasonable people out there but finding them is always the challenge

Considering how much the Incrediscoly was sold on Cherry Corals, this is not too bad
Actually I think it makes this look even more overpriced! That scoly was literally incredible. $1200 for that one all day before even thinking about this one for anything close to $1000.

well, Im not suprised.
the coral market now a days, specially in USA and Japan, is more about "how much money can this piece go for" rather than how much is this piece worth !
if ppl are willing to pay, then that's the price ...
market drives the price.
same piece goes for about 100 bucks here, and NICE unique scollies about 150 bucks.

I agree. The first thing that popped out was how much orange it has on it. Also, it probably looks a little better when under regular (not-so-blue) lighting. I think they knew it was a great coral, but didn't know how to price it. They priced it high and will lower until someone buys it. Just like the wroughtiron butterfly that I keep drooling over.

Yep, looks like it sold to someone with deep pockets. More power to them. Shows beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would love to see updated pictures of it later on as it gets bigger. See if that orange really starts popping out instead of looking so brown.
