There seems to be a lot of hype regarding the Queen Krakatoa Zoa with single polyp frags selling for hundreds of dollars. To me they look nice but not exceptional. What am I missing? Am I the only one that thinks this?

Don't you know brand things is expensive? just like Coach < Tiffany < LV < Chanel. Krakatos goes for $900 PP, the wife is pretty cheap whore for $235- 300 PP. Their little girl Pink Krakatos goes for $40 - 120 PP depend who u get it from.

Other than that, it's just a stupid paly that look really nice pink under 20k which is over priced. Did I over paid for it? Yes. Do I think it's worth it? No, but hi that's my 0.2

Here is my Paly.

It's not a slap on, it's the name giving by Neptune Cove. It's original name is GB Jupiter.

Have you seen the limited release "flappy bird" name floating around a little while ago? Can't remember what it was for. Pretty desperate.
Let the coral sell itself. I respect how some guys on various forums sell packs of corals with pics only, no names given ("if you need the names, pm me").

seems to me this is another hype thread. :p LOL

what your missing is that its another polyp that is following threw with the Trend as well as a few other Big money polyps. They are really nice. But some people criticize on it cause they cant afford it or just dont wanna spend some money and have fun. :p But its pretty cool not the best but its nice.

I can afford it but don't wanna spend the money because right after I put it in my tank, it will melt or never open. I'm scared.

+1 "on people who can't afford or won't buy"
Don't think it always has to b super bright colors to make a p look nice!

i dont think that way. i buy what i like, If i dont like it i wont by it. Just like the Kraks i liked them, Just was not able to snag any till the price wek up to 1,000$ per polyp. i still Tried to buy one But sales were in the abyss.

The point i was saying was, if you like it and its pricy and its to your liking and you no its with market value (just like stocks) buy it.

if its a over priced 100th time named out zoa like a used wash rag then say hey i like it but ill either get it in a few months wehn its lower in price or i will just walk away and say no thanks.

:)

happy Reefing!

I don't really get paying so much for these either. If people like them and they're not hard to grow, then their numbers will increase and their value will drop. If you're patient you can buy for a good price. You have to be a little patient to do well in this hobby.

this hobby is as worse as any other hobby. car collecting, sneaker hype, watch collecting, baseball cards, Jeans, pokemon cards! lol

gotta catch em all.

listen if you are not a collector you wont understand why the market is the way it is. its just like the outside world as well in the hobby. tehre is a market for everything, once someone sets the bar high and it sticks a few times thats the number it will be.

if you dont like it does not mean 15-100 other people dont like it. Just as zoas are expensive so is SPS chalices and Acans. just cause you dont like it doesnt mean you have to put the zoa down.
