Wow, ballsy!

Looks like he got 4 corals, last one was huge. Obviously a reefer who knew exactly which ones to grab.

This looks like happening to a frag tank of a store...

$1000 for a colony is not that insane for some corals. Some stores sell rare corals >$100 a frag. If you can frag a colony into 10 pieces, then....

Actually the opposite. Most rare corals grow very slowly. To maximize profit, people tend to frag them when a colony is very small. I would say the guy is not a reefer.

Yea... $4000? He only reached in three times. Seems like it was too obvious.

What was it he stole?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Maybe it was 3 fully stocked frag racks!?

That's why it pays to throw a few random blue ringed octopuses in your coral tanks.
