I'd say between $5- $10/polyp. There are still zoas/palys that have been around a while (Sunny D's,CAR's etc.) that still have premiums in that range. It's usually better to buy bigger frags so the price per polyp is less.

This is funny. . Remember guys, this is socalireefs. Scr members are super spoiled. You guys are talking hobbyist to hobbyist numbers. Tell me a store that sells these for $5 or less per polyp. These sell all day long at $15 to $20. In fact, at the show they get $25pp. I have yet to see rocks of these at the wholesalers. When I do, I'll lower the price. Just my opinion.

I've purchased Fruit Loops for way less than 20 bucks per polyp at shows and it wasn't cause they were hooking me up. I got a big chunk from Fantastic Frags a while back for a good price. Steve Garrett also has them and they are less than that per polyp.

Coral Prices are all over the place so its hard to give a stick or a polyp an exact value.

True red hornets are probably sold above 5$ per polyp. The fake ones that Lurking buys from the hood are the 5$ or 2$ per polyp.

Goes back to know your supplier. If it's Cody you are getting true polyps. If it's Sanh, he bent you over a barrel and he put a smile on your face. And then he laughs all the way to the mattress cause that's where he stashes his illegal monies.

Fruit loops should sell for over 10$ cause they are super slow growers for me. I don't wannem anymore.

Also Cody is right SG sold j Nguyen like 25 polyps of FL for like for pennies. I was like come up!
