$30 PP.
Not for me.
Nice, but not outstanding IMM

Then again, if I attach a fancy marketing name, some might pay that. It’s amazing what people will pay for some stuff.
 
Tell them £30 for big colony. 30 per polyp come on there taking the wee . This is the problem people are buying big colony’s and then foraging them at three heads ripping reefers off . Tell them too put there polyps somewhere dark .
 
I’ve noticed the 2nd hand frag market is a bit silly. My first venture into this hobby you could regularly find people with frags at 1/2 retail. Everything I see in my area are people asking for retail or sometimes worse, with the justification always something like “no tax!” Or “no pests like LFS frags”. I just roll my eyes.

Too many people trying to make this a side hustle imo.

Yeah, considering they didn't really do anything except maintain their own tank to grow them $30 seems pretty ridiculous. I mean, you do need to compare them to retail since Stratosphere Zoas and some others for example would go far above that but $30 for something you can buy for retail at the same price (or close even) seems exorbitant. I agree too many people are trying to make money off the hobby in ways like this.
 
$30.00 per polyp? Were they wearing masks?

I don't have a problem with people trying to offset the expense of the hobby, but there is an expression that I like:

"Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. Don't be a hog. Be a pig and live to feed another day."
 
$30 pp for jedi mind tricks is actually quite fair…
they’re a notoriously difficult zoa to grow that requires lower light and a bit of luck
