Check This Out Guy's, Is This Coral Insane Or Is It The Price Tag On It?.............
- Thread starter Chaotic Reefer4u
- Start date
Is that coral already been sold like a 1 or 2 ago when they put it on their website with a sign said "SOLD".Anyway, i saw this coral in person like around 6 months ago and it just look like another lobo to me.The funny thing is that if the coral are so valuable and should they put it inside their show tank instead of a 12 gallon jbj nano tank .

I've got some cat turds over here for ya, I'll sell for 10 cents a plop. Come on! 2 grand? Why don't you feed the homeless or save some shelter animals?

Hi,
I never meant to offend anyone. That is cool you are a ceo. That is wonderful that you donate to your church as well. It is extremely wonderful you help shelter animals and the homeless. That is wonderful god bless you. I was just a little outraged to see a coral going for that much. If I had the money to buy a home with just cash, then I would. Most people don't. I have seen a lot of selfish people in the world that are all out for themselves, without helping others. It just makes me a little upset. The rich have to remember those that are barely able to scrape by and those that can't. I've met many that don't care. I'm glad you do. I was a little frustrated when I saw that coral. Sometimes I should keep things to myself. I'm sorry if I upset anyone.

Why are you outraged? I don't quite understand this. Yes it's super expensive (and kinda ugly IMO). It's not hurting anybody by sitting there and being expensive. It's not an item someone needs to survive, and it's not doesn't require a steady diet of condors.
Yeah it's expnesive, and perhaps they will make a high profit margin, but for everyone of these high priced corals, there are hundreds of inexpensive, nice looking, captive bred, and easy to propogate corals available for reefers to chose from.

i did not take offence but, i was merely trying to answer some of your questions 
i hope you did not take offence by the answers and i certainly was not trying to flaunt that i had money of any sort, just merely stating the facts. not everyone who has money acts like a stuck up snob and some worked very hard to get there... i totally agree that is a UGLY piece and is way over priced! also, it sure does look better in there tank then mine! i don't care how much money you have if you buy something for your tank that costs that much and it does not do well..........it hurts and yes you should have donated it instead......... i have previously spent a large sum of money on a rare fish to have it not do well in my tank... luckily it did not die and i was able to re-sell it. that was the first and last time i will ever put that kind of money in a fish..

Okay, outraged was not the right term. Maybe flabbergasted. It makes me feel bad when there are others out there in the world suffering and some people will sell these corals for $2,000 grand? That's all. I know not all rich people are snobs. I never meant to make it seem like that, if I did. We are all equal here on earth. I just feel very bad for poor people in the world. Abused, neglected, homeless people and animals. Or those dying from incurable disease. I just hope and pray they pay it forward if they sell that coral. I've always tried to do that in my life, even though I have very little. I've suffered in life, as have very many. Sometimes life does not seem fair. If you go to a very poor country you will understand. Mexico in particular is one of the poorest countries. It is sad. Having to sleep on a dirt floor, children selling gum to buy food for their family, not having enough food, bathrooms, water, shelter. Us everyone at times can take things for granted. All of us have done it in life. I was just sad to see something so expensive go up for sale. Please no one get upset with me. I was just saying how I felt.

i'd still like to know how a hybrid can be called a 'scolymia' (no 'scolyima with 'x' 'var.'' ?, heh)-
a hybrid is a CROSS between various species, like a mule is a hybrid between a horse and a donkey-(from a web dictionary: "an organism that is the offspring of genetically dissimilar parents or stock; especially offspring produced by breeding plants or animals of different varieties or breeds or species )there some 'used car salesman pitch' going on here, folks, and some sucker's gonna get cleaned out hook line and sinker for what MIGHT be a nice color morph of a fairly common coral
what coral species can hybridize with another ? and how did they even verify a breeding/cross between two 'varieties' (if there ARE such things) of scoly?

Ever been to Mexico? That country is very poor. My father grew up there. Being poor is something he's known. I understand poor. We've been poor before. I praise God for bringing us through to the good times. At least better times. I understand shoes to someone is very important. Having a reef tank is yes a luxury. Tacocat, I am currently not keeping anyone's food. I have yet to set up my tank. I am not trying to argue here. That is what I said in my last post. I am not trying to offend anyone here. So like I said before I apologize if I did.
Vitz I agree with you.

marinegirl411,
no one is mad at you i can assure u of that! we all agree with you on the issue. you seem to be a very kind and nice person at heart. the world would be a better place if everyone thought the way you do. but you are correct there are people out there who think that they are better then everyone else.

You're spot on, except that Scolymia is a genus, not a species. Scolymia contains many species (lacera, cubensis, etc.) So a hybrid between two scoly species can, as you may guess, be called a Scolymia hybrid. I don't know how they'd verify a cross, but it's likely that species within the same genus would be able to cross occasionally, just as other animals can as with your horse/donkey example or as with the liger, which is pretty much my favorite animal.

Yup, I've been to Mexico. I know poor very well. I'm not arguing with you, nor am I offended. It's cool.
BTW, in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands, people eat tangs, clownfish, triggers, you name it. Oh and tridacna clams make for great sushi. Knowing poor, I know that a poor person won't be buying that thing.
Ryan I'd pony up $2K for a liger.
