I just saw what is supposed to be an Ora Red Planet frag that is about 1 1/2 inches tall. It looks like the real thing, not entirely sure, but if it is. The LFS is asking $69.00. Is this ok?
Thanks

sadly that is the going price. from the LFS to a petco that carries ORA corals.
it is a hot seller if priced too low so the sellers make it hurt to buy a frag and
they still sell.. but not as fast if they were 45.
i have been resisting buying a frag because i think it is over priced and becoming
quite common. prices will come down.
Waiting to buy it? Sounds like you don't want it! 
I can frag my every two months now that it has grown out and is hitting other coral. I'm happy to sell $15-25 frags of it when it happens too.
I really think this is one piece that won't really lose much value - it is just that pretty. I do agree with the statement that it is more widely distributed though.

no way to high I'm sure you can find it from a local reef for half that ...

I've seen one at my LFS for 70 bucks and I bought one from a member of my local reef club for 25 bucks. I spent about 40 bucks in gas to drive to his house and pick it up. I thought I was saving some money but I broke out even... actually I picked up alot of other frags from him too so I was ahead.

ORA corals tend to stay the same prices on average in the stores. If the ORA piece has been around long enough then you should be able to find a local frag at a discounted price.

I have seen Red Planet Frags locally for $30.00 from reefers, but they are also 1/4-1/2 inch frags, and this one is 1 1/2- 2 inches. So I guess its all in the size you want to start with. If you do the math it's all the same! Smaller frag lesser price, but the same equivalent. Now the decision is up to me...but I appreciate the feedback!

I paid $79.95 for mine from the LFS. That is the price they charge for all of their ora's. The only time I got them cheaper was when I bought three at once. If I remember correctly they knocked it down to $70.

I just dropped $69 for a ora 1 1/2" frag i think that is the going rate.

So Red Planet is a fast grower! What lighting, and flow do you have it in? I guess I'll be picking this up over the weekend. It is browned out at the LFS. I hope it colors back up nicely.
