What is a good price for Blue and Pink Zoos?

[fantastic4]

New to zoos, what is a good price for LFS blue zoos (roughly 8 polyps) and a plug of pink zoos (roughly 30+ polyps).

Same question for ones with bright orange tenticles and ones with bright yellow tenticles.

Thanks,

fishes2889, just saw them on Saturday, was tempted, but I had already had $80+ of stuff on the counter. Did not have my camera with me, I may go back tonight as it has been bothering me that I did not pick them up. lol

The pinks are not ultra pink, but rather a soft pink (solid color from mouth to tenticles)

The blues were solid as well, hard to tell true color as the lighting was poor. The tenticles were brown on the blues.

My LFS offered the blues for $50 and the pinks for $50 as well. Did I pass up a good deal? I guess I'm wondering if I will encounter these colors again and if adding $100 for two tiny rocks is well worth money.

bump,

About to head out, I do realize that price is all subjective to what it's worth to have... would you guys fork over $100 for the blues and pinks described above?

Thanks,

It all comes down to what you want in your tank. If you like the color of the corals that your lfs has and you have the money, go for it.
It shouldn't matter to anybody what you spend.

Exactly what mfinn said.
$100 isn't terrible.

These are the pinks I picked up tonight (as mentioned)

Did not buy the blues, saw some bright green ones I had to have instead!

Hey nice score. I like those pinks.

Pinks like a little more flow than most. You will be suprised how much they color up a few months from now.

i cant believe you spent $50 on those!!! j/k they look good.

Thank you everyone, I love my LFS, ended up buying the pinks for $40. Planning on letting them acclimate to the tank for a few weeks, and will try to propogate them through out tank, I like the color as well. Zoos are amazing, the color range is unbelievable.

That was a good deal for those pink, imo.
Nice score!:thumbsup:
