I did endup get two other that were cool too.
 
The one on the left looks like my alien eye chalice... that I got for 30$... the one on the left I'm guessing is a watermelon???

Hi
Where did you get a alien eye for $30 ? I know someone who wants one.That's a good price?

Dolphin. I can't remember the exact price but I never buy anything for more than $40. Err... so based on that logic it could have been 40$. :D
 
#1 rule of coral prices. If you absolutely love the piece and don't mind what you spent, then it is not over priced.

A 2 liter of pepsi will cost you different depending upon what store you go to, same goes for corals. Me personally, I wouldn't know what those go for other than I overheard one particular type of watermelon go for $235 in auction at the BACFM, so as far I can tell he got a bargin on one and a free coral in the other.

Now if someone was proud of their $300 GSP purchase... yah ok, some Haterade will come out on that :D

Got them at Tropical Reef on Taraval in San Fran.The owner knew what he had but gave me a great deal. I been seaching LFS in the area and seem like no one had it for sale at the time.The other prices I found were in the 200 range for one eye. I missed out on some of the better deals like $200-400 for bright color Aussie acan and mircomussa colonies.A dealer purchased 4 that I know of and is selling on their web site at $100-200 per eye. I would have purchase a colony but I'm just out of room and money. I just wanted to put the word out on the street that the store has some good things. The owner is cool too.
So maybe $225 was high but Mike is right .I just wanted it. :D
 
Keep your eyes open for more wild collected watermelon type chalice. I'm told that collectors recently found an Indo location for those.
 
If paid $225 for two corals, it would have been a killer deal too. My wife would have killed me. :lol:

Great looking pieces!
 
Sorry to have sounded negative. Just sourgrapes because I haven't got any watermelon chalice.

Heck my heating bill is more than that every month.
