How much are they worth (Yuma's)?

[Blazer88]

Lets imagine in a purely hypothetical situation that this is the momma Ric and she has left a few dime-sized ones. How much would they go for? Remember...hypothetical situation, no trade requests

I have seen my LFS sell a 1 polyp frag in Orlando for ~15-25 depending on the coloration (more if even more rare colors or possibly more than 1 mouth)...

Online they seem like they go for more depending on the quality of the site and dependability of the seller...

Is that an orange\purple? i can't quite makeout the outside tips.. I got a tiny polyp for 10$ online plus shipping at http://sealifeflorida.com/catalog/index.php which was a deal i couldn't pass up, especially with very good feedback on RC about the seller.

Edit: mine were floridia but if i'm not mistaken save for colors, they tend to be similar in price?

 

[Blazer88]

It's just solid pink, no other colors on the tips. That site is pretty cheap, I think Ric's are more expensive on the west coast.

I would pay $100-$200 for a captive propagated pink yuma. I would not sell any babies of that yuma for less. It seems that solid pink/red yumas from the ocean go for atleast that much, and many/most don't survive, so you've got a big edge because yours is healthy and a clone, so it'll definately be hardier than their wildcaught counterparts.

When you do sell, I would mention that it's a propagated clone, you should get more interest.

JMO,

You are correct Harry, they are all propagated clones that have reproduced naturally (not by cutting, etc). I have read through a few threads and it seems that most people have problems keeping these guys alive which is sort of surprising as they have been the naturally reproducing in my tank. Thanks for the reply and your opinion. Here is a picture of what one of the babies looks like just for reference.

Yeah, my reddish/pink yuma has had 2 babies so far.
