Absolutely agree with the OP. I've never paid more than 10 bucks for any colony of zoas. I get all my high end ones from other hobbyists who aren't trying to make a quick buck.
I don't understand why with the high price. My 'high end' zoas spit out new polyps at the exact same god damn rate as my super cheap 5 dollars for 50 polyps zoas. Bought 2 mind benders for 10 bucks a couple weeks ago... And I'm already up to 5 of them.
Moral of the story is to just wait until a hobbyist near you is willing to frag some at a reasonable price. They all grow the same.
