reefrun Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Totally a valid price. Way out of my range, but I’d love to see a photo! ... never mind, the video showed up after I posted 😍😉 Edited July 15, 2020 by reefrun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I mean no offense, but I simply don't understand the appeal or justification for pricing any coral like this. What exactly is so special about it? I have several corals in my tank which look similar, but paid $20 each. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefnjunkie Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 No offense taken @SuncrestReef I don’t bother trying to understand, I simply accept it is what it is and people pay what they do. I’m a collector of over priced pieces, there is quite a few other people (crazy like me) that buy/collect them too- not so much in the Oregon market tho This piece will take a special kind of crazy, I may be the only local like that and I’m ok with that 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What_The_Frag Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 This is a great deal, DM sent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matteo Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The market is so tiny for coral like that lol. I don't think anyone local will spend that much on a 1" frag that looks similar to many of our $20-40 frags. Looks like you have a buyer. I think pieces like these are for ebay and vendors.

albertareef Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hey Brad - do you have a larger colony of that which shows the full coloration? Just curious since some of the pics online of the small colonies look pretty impressive. Not that I would ever be in position to buy it - just like learning about some of these high dollar pieces 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenbasketreef Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 This acro grow super slow and nothing available from new import of wild or mariculture Only available from tank raise / aquaculture Why so expensive? Basically supply and demand on this piece, many buyer only 2-3 sellers in the country. The asking price consider cheap and will sell quick online, Good job Brad growing it to that multi branch frag.

pdxmonkeyboy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hmmm, a week aboard a live aboard diving vessel in Fiji or a 1" acro frag. These are the decisions that keep me up at night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMeyer Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) When these things come up I remind myself there are people who buy jeans that cost as much as my mortgage payment and sincerely consider them to be a good value. Its interesting, it seems this is more general than just corals. Human beings can apparently have two very different psychological responses when they find items priced 10 to 100 times above functionally equivalent alternatives.

reefnjunkie Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I would have to agree with everything I’ve read with 2 exceptions @albertareef I do not have a colony- some day 🙏 This piece is no longer mine 😎 Edited July 16, 2020 by reefnjunkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
