I think we need some rules Mike. To me High end means something like 50$+ per inch and 30$+per polyp. Or in Lps one head for 35$+. Obviously everything named and tank raised not acans you just pulled from the Wholeseller or a boss acro that landed yesterday.
Also it would be nice for everything on the specialized forum to be shot in (negative schnitzelvision=no crazy blue lighting). In more realistic lighting.
Sorry to rant but I've been victim to a dude taking pics of acans and agreeing to buy and when I see them it's not even the same thing. At 50$ a head it's enough to hate a person.
I guess in short,"keep it classy everyone." Great idea I hope people don't muck up the thread with junk corals.

I guess that Krakatoa convo is more for guys who concentrate on turning a profit or are polyp enthusiasts. IMHO say if they are commanding a large price because they are proven (non melters/rare) then sell away. But if they are coming in waves to GG area and to my hood then why would anyone pay so much for them.
I think needless to say lets say captive over a year would be a good quantitative measuring stick. If it pops a baby could just mean it's trying not to die. And all the lighting variables haven't been established. I bought some cool name
Polyps a year ago at 40$+ a head and they were FO the plane. They don't grow well,
Don't show well and really now they look like crap. Glad the dude is a nice guy or else I'd rape him verbally given the opportunity.
Rare and high end are synonymous in this hobby. I think we can use our best discretion as consumers and posters to do our best to keep this thread "legit." Mods feel free to cut up my rambling. With light moderation this threads sales content will stay "high end." Easy as moving their pic and sale back to the regular sale forum where it belonged.
Sps wise I consider as "higher" end and deserving of this sub forum. All
Must be colored up. Not crap brown cause you have poor coral husbandry.
Purple Monster
StrawberryShortCake
Pearl berry
Avenger
Blue matrix
True ice fire echinata with lineage (lots of fakes)
ATL almost anything that's over 35$ an inch retail
Oregon Tort
Rouge Millie
Rainbow Millie's with lineage
Romels anything
MOP
Myagi tort
Sapphire Millie
Banana lokani
20 and 30k lokani
Basically any Millie that has two plus colors and is named and not by a wholesale cherry picker.
Please feel free to add to the list. I'm just going off proven nice coral.

Hey Guys,
Thank you for all your feedback on the new forum section. To consider something Hi-End can be rather subjective so I want the seller to use their best judgement when posting in this forum and for the buyer to do the research when purchasing. We'll see how this goes and rules maybe enforced later if there are problems.
This thread will be closed. Please post "high-end" livestock in its own separate thread.
