Could someone help me out and tell me I'm not crazy for buying this (***not my picture!!!***)  Well actually it's a frag of that but with all the controversy over this piece I really don't know why I bought it? Lol well actually I know why I bought it! Look at the picture!! Also the guy I bought it from hooked me up with 5 freebies to go with it and 3 out of 5 of those freebies are sweet pieces all by them selves. I paid way less then the "sticker" prices everywhere and that's without even factoring in the "freebies"... I have no idea why he wanted to call them freebies other then I don't think the original owner of this piece likes people he sells them to, selling the frags for cheaper then a certain price? Drives down the market price. Either way I'd love to hear some opinions and also if you've bought any high end frags or corals that made you say hummmmm.... :rolleyes: post up your story and share a picture!  |

It's beautiful, but I'm sure very pricey.

WHAT!!! I say you're crazy if you paid anywhere close to what I've seen it going for. The price tag of that colony is going to plummet over the next few years because of exactly what you mentioned. More people are getting their hands on it and the supply is going up. Now I have to make it to your place to see this thing in person. I've been dying to see what it REALLY looks like.

Haha how about I make sure I can grow it out first! Lol I'm 99% sure I'll have it nice sized within 6 months but oh boy will this thing be seriously hard to cut if it looks anything like the pictures I've seen! Just to give everyone that doesn't know an idea of the price people pay for this coral here's what the last one sold for on Ebay directly from the original owner. m.ebay.com/itm/331382448863?_mwBanner=1And no I didn't pay this much! Lol |

From everything I've read it does look like this under blue lighting and is a great Tenius under any lighting. |
