[LIreefguy]

Honestly I am asking. who on earth buys these corals at these insane prices. I see Trachyphyllia like this one around me at shows 60-100 bucks

People that are new to reefing and don't understand that a coral can and will change color under their tank's lights. Hopefully to a drab brown.

I still can’t believe people are paying $400+ for a mushroom. Haven’t they figured out that the amount being sold is for a reason?!? Maaaaybe because the reproduce so fast. Same thing with a “homewrecker” frag, there’s sooooo many people selling them why is it still expensive? People need to understand when the market gets flooded those prices should drop. Blows my mind...

Anytime I see stuff priced like this I just laugh, and yes some fool will buy this.

That's easy, there are still plenty buying it. And prices have come down. Though some, like the OG Bounce, somehow really does seem to hold value well, that one is odd. But must just be such a huge demand. Otherwise sellers, either business or hobbyists, will most certainly undercut the market and start pushing prices down. Homewrecker and WD have come down a ton since they first started circulating.

I still IMO think it’s comical to pay so much for a mushroom. In a year or so I bet some will be wishing they didn’t introduce so many as their taking over like every other mushroom. Who knows...
