hey have any of yall seen a frag, one or two polyps, for around $100 or $120? I dont want lord really just any kind, i want the crazy growth from a cool coral.

Acan subechinatas (usually misidentified as acan "echinatas") aren't too expensive at all.

 

$59 for this whole colony of acan subechinata at phishybusiness.com

And fellow reefers sometimes sell acan lord for $50-60 (sometimes even lower) per polyp...just gotta hunt them down. Most of the more common red and grey acan lord should be selling for around $50-70 per polyp anyway.

I thought all of us English majors went into insurance...;) lol.

 

And $100/polyp for coral is ridonculous...pure and simple..lol.

 

This market can't stay afloat forever, especially with the growth rate on some of these Acanthastreas...eventually it'll come down.

 

Cheers,

Fred

Fred - I'm surprised it took so long for you to post that. I would've expected you to have jumped in w/ that comment back on page 2 (or in the other heated thread a week ago)...have u been on vacation? hehe. j/k. ;)

 

A pic I took last night of my OC acan...

I noticed last night how different these 2 frags of acan lord look...they actually came from the same mother colony, yet look like 2 completely diff color morphs. just good to know for folks who are about to purchase one. only difference is the amount of light they received...one on the right got more light and one on left was more in the shade.
