What's the most you paid for a coral?

What's highest you paid for a single coral? For me it's a shroom About 3K............ still waiting to pick it up too........

Not a coral, but $150 for a black widow nem. I usually try to stay below $50. Would love a Neptune bounce, though...

 

[carram204]

$150 for a baby og bounce

900 for a CSB few years back. 800 for a GSC HG variant torch. Both died on my last move.

500 for a frag of Vivid’s 4 loko. 3-4 years later it’s still smaller than the day I brought it home

700 for Chicago sunburst a few years back but it paid for itself 4x over in clones. I did just recently spend over $300 for a RRC Splice but I felt that was a good coral investment.

Stop fragging it?

Stop fragging it?

I wish. It'll get frag sized, then TN back to a couple polyps and start it all over again.

I've paid $120 or $130 for a clam (noae & crocea respectively), but have never spent more than $60 on a frag. I may pay more for a really nice noae, but that's my limit (and my vice) on clams. I've been fortunate enough to trade some awesome corals with fellow reefers, which is my preferred method. I kinda wish that we would trade more in this hobby, especially amongst hobbyist. The only time I sell frags is either to fund equipment purchases or I have too much of something, but if that's the case then I usually try to lower the price or wind up giving a lot away for free or in trade. Whenever I thought about how much money I could make from selling frags, the reefing gods always seem to humble me, so for me, it's about paying it forward and banking corals with friends and like-minded reefers. To me, the only coral that's worth it's price is the purple monster. It's one the few corals in this hobby with true lineage (there are others) and worth it (to me). I think we all have that "one" coral we would pay more money for and the purple monster is mine.
Happy reefing!
