Paratore Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Would you guys rather buy colonies or large "frags"?? I am considering selling a couple of my SPS colonies soon to fund some new equipment and to fuel the zoa addiction lol. I'm thinking of selling my RMF Superman stag and my lavender mint sarmentosa colonies. Just seeing what you guys would prefer before I make any decisions:) Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Blackice Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Most people buy frags cuz there cheaper and there easier to sell. It harder for people to justify large colony prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markvo Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I like to buy colonies instead of frags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thank you all got the replies so far! Keep them coming I'll probably end up listing the colonies first and if they don't sell/trade, then I'll frag them out.

Paratore Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Here is a picture from a few weeks ago. Sorry the quality isn't the best haha. Recently moved the superman(top right) to higher light so it's a lighter more pink color right now. They originally come from Beer503 For size reference, the frag plugs are 1.25 inches I believe.

Bicyclebill Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Sweet colonies! Hah, Markvo has to buy colonies because his tank is so big you can't even see frags in it! I like those really red flat looking colonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badxgillen Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I would like to know prices as well, and what is behind those red blotches? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 The colony behind the left red blotch has sadly passed away.... Bleach out of me for no reason and never recovered. The second blotch is this guy but I plan to keep him and frag it every now and again. It's a super bright coral! Here are a few pics under different lighting conditions. last picture is under just whites. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markvo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Why aren't you posting prices for things you want to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paratore Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Why aren't you posting prices for things you want to sell.i haven't posted prices or anything yet because the colonies are not ready to be sold yet. Still need about a month before they are good to go. The reason I posted this was so that I could figure out what I wanted to do when I go to sell them. To see if people wanted colonies or frags. This wasn't meant to be a sale thread by any means, just wanted to have a general discussion That's what I've told the people whom I have PMed. Told them that the colonies weren't ready yet, still coloring up after a stressful dip a month ago but that I would remember them when I go to sell the stuff at a later date.

pledosophy Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 IME selling larger colonies is harder because people don't want to pay the price for them, and people usually sell frags because they get more money for the corals. For example I had a colony of a candy cane coral that was about 300 heads. I asked for $300 for the colony. I got no biters. However I did sell 20 or so frags of 4 polyps for $20-$30 a frag. So I made the money I wanted and kept 2/3's of the colony. Similar thing with a Tubinaria I had. It was easy to see 2" frags for $20 but when I tried to sell the 20" round piece (wouldn't even fit in a bucket) I got $95 for it. It is very similar to selling a system as a package or parting it out piece by piece. JME 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peng Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I like to buy frags. They are cheaper and if they die the loss is smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
