SDBDRZ March 6, 2007 March 6, 2007 I have been in this hobby for a very long time, the prices I have seen the last 6 months for some corals just absolutely amazes me.
BeltwayBandit March 6, 2007 March 6, 2007 I have been in this hobby for a very long time, the prices I have seen the last 6 months for some corals just absolutely amazes me. Yeah it is amazing what a 'name' will do for a coral. To each his own, as the saying goes. I would be afraid to spend that much on anything living that goes in my tank. I think it went to chop shop... Thats actually not such a bad thing. I was reading (Borneman?) who was making the argument that by fragging the corals regularly they actually grow faster in captivity than they would in the wild. Furthermore, like with new technology by fragging it, the price will come down and it will (eventually) become more available. Its actually not all bad. Additionally, fragging helps to prevent a single incident from killing the entire 'line'.
rooroo March 6, 2007 March 6, 2007 Thats the kind of coral that I would think you'd want insurance for (if you can even insure marine animals?).

dzekunoi March 6, 2007 March 6, 2007 Ron, who 'won' the auction, does own an on-line coral store out of SoCal. Wow! Guess it will be $100 for a 1/2" frags.
jamesbuf March 6, 2007 March 6, 2007 unbelievable, can't believe someone actually paid that much. Must be nice to have money to spend like that.
lanman March 7, 2007 March 7, 2007 (edited) $2,200! Auction ended last night @ 6:30. That's purty!! Approximately 78 of them if cut into 1/2"x1/2" frags. So if the 1/2" frags were sold for $200 each, that would be about $15,000 bob Edited March 7, 2007 by lanman
