Here in the midwest they are not to expensive. Guess it depends on how saturated your local market is.

Love they colors on these. I have 5 5polyp frags that are healed and ready to go.

Hello, I'll give my opinion. I'm not into names at all but did look at your link of the pictures. I was at a store just yesterday and he mentioned that what I was looking at were AOG's as I recall. I use to have the same polyps, neither of which are rare or uncommon. Both polyps can't be the same AOG and both are distinctly and charactoristically different. No sir, that is not a good deal in my opinion if it's on a small frag rock. Others will say, "well that's only $ 3.80 per polyp". These per polyp prices didn't come about until someone gave them a name and started calling common polyps rare. That polyp you have is as common as the sun. I'd pay no more than $ 25 or so bucks for a frag of 17. This is why you can't purchase a colony anymore because so many are paying these prices.

+1 Remember everything has a price.. before hitting a website for a "specific zoa/paly"... look for better deals.. ie: craigslist local reefers RC selling forum etc... but get a pulse price wise before settling/buying. Dont forget to use my favorite word "HAGGLE".

Any event vexeclipse2007 congrats on your new find

There are 2 reefers, one here in Michigan, who are growing out hundreds of frags and they are planning to start selling them for $ 20 to $ 25 per frag with 15 to 20 polyps per frag for just about everything. Tell me how can one person sell a red zoanthid that has been around for years for $ 200 a polyp over here and another reefer sells the exact same polyp with 15 polyps on a frag for $ 20 to $ 25? There will be stipulations to prevent buyers from turning around and price jacking them. Supply and deamnd will not bring the prices down, it will be when people finally realize that they have been paying through the roof for one of the fastest growing corals in the ocean. Driven only by price gouging, names and hype, these prices will drop like the temp at the north pole.

AOGs are cool, but $65 is a bit much for that. They are quite common like whammin' watermelon. Also cool, but very common.

well said, and many here locally are allready doing this.... in our club i dont think i have ever seen a zoa frag for over $20, only ones that are, are huge colonies on pieces of live rock.... the time will come when the prices drop like you said, its just a matter of time when people realize this.... like a morph of something that can be bought for $20 for 50 polyps and now renamed and is for sale for $200 for 5 polyps, im new to this but there are so many zoa's that look almost exactly the same with so many different names its crazy, if they look identical by looking at them from a foot away with the naked eye whats the point??? My friends dont come over with there binoculars and mircoscopes and xlr cams set on macro when they look at my tank..... to each there own i guess with there maxed out cc's

 

[D.J.'s reef]

WOW.....lots of people getting them CHEAP.....i just paid $30 for 5 heads a few weeks ago......and so far i got 1 new baby showed up!!

well said mucho...there are so many polyps that are being called rare or whatever other name tagged to it when i have seen them many times and alot cheaper as well..there are many times when the same polyps are right under reefers noses and they just don't bother to look at they polyps well...i have bought and seen many of the polyps turn into the same thing that person "a" is selling as le this or rare that..all they had to do is give them a little tlc and bam you got that same pretty and bright polyp that is for sale for $25 a polyp when you paid $25 for a whole rock of them
