I saw it when they posted it on FB. I was prepared to pay up to $250.....I saw it was going for $799 and I couldn't believe it.

Somebody thought it was priced appropriately.

Normal ones go for $150. I'm not saying that scoly should be $800 but there's no chance of it being $150.

Do places like DD pay more for a scoly like this? Or do they just bring them in in bulk and price them accordingly?

i would like to know this too. 800 seems pretty high, but some people just have that kind of money

My local fish store, That Fish Place, has a bleeding apple for $600. A little pricey if you ask me.

I've seen ones much nicer than that one in different socal LFS for $120-175 or less. In all seriousness, that's by no means even a AAA scoly by collector/wholesale standards, it might (and this is a huge maybe) be an A grade. They for sure paid under $100 for that one.

i've honestly seen nicer looking ones for half the price.

i never buy their corals cause they are always wayy to high and not worth it.

I've seen better for 1/3rd the price. Heck seen some masterpiece scolys go cheaper than that.

 

[astroreevo]

it is way too pricey... you could just spend a half of it and get few exotic corals

Can you post a nice pic of a AAA scoly? I;d like to see one to compare to the DD scoly.

After reading this I am quite certain that whoever purchased this coral will not be coming forward.

As for the coral being overpriced, fair pricing is all in the eye of the purchaser. As Steve already mentioned "Somebody thought it was priced appropriately".

Essentially it means no brown. That "purple" part on the OP scoly is just white balanced brownish reflecting their lights. The less color and the more dark spots is how they grade scolys, so that one might be an A grade...
