Zoanthids---what's the most you've paid for a polyp(s)

[reefwars]

Curious as to What's the most expensive zoanthid you've bought ?

Any other die hards out there like me lol

[lastlight]

in other words... who's cried the hardest when their polyp or colony melted away suddenly (without reason) one day?

Well if you break it down then......Technically yes lol

My highest is $250 , several others fall right behind between $125-$200


Those are all one polyp frags lol

My average i pay overall I would guess is between $20-$60 a polyp

To be honest there is no set place , every place has one here , two there lol from other collectors is the best route to go and it takes time to acquire a good collection(years)

I'll pm you some info later today.


With that said......what's the most you've paid for a polyp or frag of polyps?

[chef]

Not much. i paid a decent amount for some sunny d's last year when they weren't so common, but some I have are starting to do well so thinking of getting my toes wet again.

[corpusse]

Many years ago I paid $75 for a colony of Rastas. Maybe 50+ polyps. I used to sell frags for 15-25 and felt a little bad for charging so much. The colony has long since melted and I have nothing left but memories..

[FishingGoalie]

50$

[Scythanith]

Probably about $75-100, I can't remember exactly. But whatever it was it's long gone since then :(

[Baker]

$150 for me so far. Notice I said so far:sad:

[Coral Hoarder]

Can people post names and pics number don't realy mater unless there's something to show for it ( in my opinion)

[chi]

I'm guessing it's like an addiction, kind of like not showing your drug stash to people you rarely know.

Also to not let the unknown significant other know how much you actually paid for your corals.

An emperor paly is priced at around $400pp. There's some other hardcore ones too.

[AquaticExpressions]

mine arrive tomorrow as well , im crossing my fingers big time lol with any luck i should have some clemmentines as well tomorrow but if mine go toast im hitting you up lol

nice to see all these designer zoas becoming available in canada:) also glad im not the oly crazy person to have the addiction lol


how about j whats your pricest polyp? i think i got an idea :P

[AquaticExpressions]

Yeah I'm hoping no issues too fingers crossed for both of our orders.

So the most expensive polyp was $400 shipped for a Queen Krak unfortunately I only got a disc :( as it melted. I was able to get a partial credit so it didn't hurt that bad. Unfortunately I need rehab as I'm a "Krak" head lol...

thats what my fear is , its one thing to be willing to throw the coin for a polyp but man does it hurt when it melts.

when we moved houses in april i had to move more frags than i can count , of course most everything made it but i lost my night furys, $200 a polyp lol i was smart and asked a friend to give me dibs on first polyp so im not out completely , it was doing so well too made a bunch of polyps off it then the move did it in lol

so far my adonis is doing great and i have 3 babies that have spread and are open polyps , if i have to move houses again for any reason i may cry lol

[AquaticExpressions]

Well if you move... ship me all of your z's and p's and then once I climatize them I will reship to you :p

[reefwars]

to be fair the polyp was $225 and the rest was in shipping etc. its actually a good price for this particular polyp , shipping was a bit more than i wanted but id rather pay the extra to have it shipped right then to have them cheap out on it lol

def my most expensive polyp to date but i have a few more coming tomorrow that will be in the same price range.

ill snap some better pics as its settled now and doing great , the pics i posted were only fresh out of the box lol

cheers

denny

[reefwars]

funny enough my one polyp showed up in a 16" box lol for a minute while i was taking the tape off i thought maybe its a box inside a box inside a box lol but nope one frag inside a huge box with packaging out the yahoo, there was no way this polyp was going to show up in poor condition;)

the polyp came form incredible aquariums in ontario and bill did an amazing job on bringing this polyp into canada and again then shipping it out :)
