We don't all have access to the same suppliers. I only have one decent lfs in my hometown and this way I saved on shipping. 2 Quote Link to comment

M. Tournesol Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 "biodiversity" I suppose? It seems to be a magical word for some reefers. 3 Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 If you started with proper live rock, you've already got some critters, and they just need time to multiply. Though a fresh piece of ocean rock could potentially be good, since your live rock is old and the ocean stuff might have died off already. As for the price of the corals, hammers ain't parazoanthus. That's like saying "why did you buy that flame angel for so much money, you could get a ton of guppies at that price". Sometimes you want a cheap coral, sometimes you want a fancy expensive coral. 5 Quote Link to comment

Kindanewtothis Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Let's hope my flame angel doesn't nip the new hammers when I'll put them in the 50g. IDK, they might stay in the 10g now that I ordered a new lamp. Quote Link to comment

Don't know where you live but coral prices vary significantly by locale. That price is not out of line for Canada. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

Also it's kind of a vacation souvenir. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

They usually have amazing stuff and when they have online sales, if you like something, get it because they sell out quick. Check out Royal City Reefs on FB and instagram. Mike is the owner. Great guy with great corals. 1 Quote Link to comment

The prettier the coral the more expensive Quote Link to comment

I ordered online from Candy Coral only because they had a captive bred clown goby I wanted that I couldn't get locally. Topped the order up with some Zoas. Excellent service with overnight delivery by FedEx. I still prefer to buy locally to support my LSF and his prices are on par with Candy Coral Quote Link to comment
