It's amazing what the Bowser paly can demand in price. As of now, more than 2 days away before the auction ends and it's already at $450 for 1 polyp and 2 babies with 26 bids..

Supply and demand at its best.

I have 7 now and they look more like candy apples as they've grown. But the tank I got them from they looked incredible so I dunno. I traded for two polyps. I have lineage but Whatevers. I would never in a million years pay that haha

Different tanks with different lights easily causes a morph, we've all seen that.

I've always thought they were a morphed CAO, but then seeing them next to each makes you wonder where the extra color bands come from. All in all, they are freaking amazing when they keep their color and still very exclusive since the owners have controlled the price pretty well.

Yep, very true. The seller has been around a while though, biggest reason they're getting that kind of activity.

Here's a bad pic of my frag, along with a stock pic found on Google I think shows this paly in good light for everyone's viewing pleasure.

sorry but wish i could slap 26 people right about now.
LOL, it's all about supply and demand. A few people out there are willing to spend $1000-$1500 on 1 inch frag of chalice, why not a ask for $200 for a polyp. Hell, atleast a polyp has a strong chance of giving you your money back in 45-60 days. A Chalice, takes months/years to grow out.

More power to ya if suckers want to pay that type of money. I bet it's not 26 diff people and I bet it's someone pumping the price up and trying to get someone to find one for 200 and think they stole it. Contact ebay to flag it and I'm pretty sure it won't fetch a 450 price tag again.

I just saw the pic, it's sad the new owners will never achieve that color..talk about over saturation. I'm about to post all my polyps on eBay and over saturate the pics...I'm gonna be a frag star!!
