Just curious, where is the other $370 going?

I'm not sure what you mean by "other". We are paying for the zoas used only.

All entry money goes straight to Sethsoloman for the zoas. And while it seems a little pricey, they are at a steep discount.

There were several other cheaper options on the table. But the chosen zoa was cornbread fangbangers retail is $80 per polyp. if the community wanted to do a cheaper option, There is still time.  Do 2 grow outs at once. I believe there were 1-2 other hobbyists that offered up cutting up colonies for growout.

Plus I asked the initial participants what they would prefer and they either said fangbangers or no preference. Given the time constraints, I had to make a choice. If people don't like the price of the fangbangers they don't have to join. Like Sethsoloman said, there can be another zoa growout- the more the merrier :)

The way I see it, if I am going to spend this much time babying one polyp zoa for half a year (?), I want it to be something special.  :laugh:   Thanks Mari for setting this up and sethsolomon for the generous offer!

This is all blue. Dime is for scale.

I'd prefer to see them under a lot more light types but this is what he has. Also here is the cornbred stock photo:
