I LOve mine... They are really a very unique animal.... (I actually traded for mine) But I would without question pay $400+ for one with my colors Some people lean more towards the $5polyp items though and that is OK I do wish that this hobby were more affordable.. But some items are just $$$$. Some of the cheapest reefs I have ever seen were the most gorgeous LOL Heck when someone comes to your house and sees your reef do they say "OOhhhh wow that $1500 colony of pink lemonade is amazing" ? no they dont, they say, "Oh look honey its Nemo, wow look at those wavy green star things !" The high dollar items are just for those who can afford it or want to appreciate something that is not as common as the good ol' green star polyps

AMEN

OK...400 qualifies for ridiculous....at least for what you are getting. What you are getting is the bragging right to say I have one and you dont....thats about it.

If you go ahead and buy a few Aussie pieces from ATL I wouldn't say you just bought them to brag just because I and other people don't have them.
I have a rhizo, and many other people do too. It has nothing to do with buying bragging rights. Obviously some people think they're worth more than others.

I dont mind paying 400$ but rhizos wouldnt be my choice....all in the eye of beholder, yet I appreciate their rarity here in the US.
