Fairy Food Acro?

[Baby Ray]

I was on Battle Corals and I saw the Fairy Food Acro for $1,000,000
Is this coral that rare?

 

[Baby Ray]

It looks kinda cool

Adam has another on the site I can't recall the name of for $9,999! He says in the right up that "he fully intends to scare you away with the price". I don't think he would really sell either of those even if someone was willing to pay.

Do you think they are actually worth that though?

They are only worth what someone is willing to pay... but short answer no.

It's simply the type of humor Adam has.

I think he just wanted to show off those sps but doesn't really want to sell them. They look amazing though!

I was looking through is corals and I have to laugh when I saw it

 

[Baby Ray]

The names of some of his corals are really funny

I would love to buy something from Adam....... to bad I can't keep SPS

I think that most corals are way over priced. I don't know if any other commodity that can sell for $200-$700 an inch. Especially when folks have been keeping those for years. Get in touch with some local reefers and try and get those $10 frags. As someone else suggested they are only worth what someone will pay. I say share the love, the worlds reefs are under threat. Hand out cheap frags of all types of corals in an effort to preserve species, and progress our hobby.

funny thing is the fairy food does not even look that cool overall and yes saw the other one for 10k to well come on guys got to have a lil fun in this. you should see my ocean front property in AZ is sick

Adam's prices are very reasonable. I've bought from him several times and in some cases its been a better deal than locals. The more you buy the more he discounts. Don't tell him I said that The fairy food is just a joke. I do think that if someone would offer a cool mil, he would definitely sell it though, but not for a penny less, LOL!

I get frags from Adam quite often and never been anything but totally impressed by his quality and level of expertise he puts into his business. Plus you might see some of his corals grown under plasma lights in near future if they make the cut on performance

Adam is awesome, and definitely a stand up, no bait and switch kind of guy. The prices on those corals is meant to be funny. I'll be picking up another pack from BC as soon as I can get my new tank to SPS level.

I have lps and softies. I am a big zoa guy
I have a Pygmy angle (doesn't nip at corals). I also have a clown and a RBTA and some rock nems. I am running 4 24 watts T5 fixture and I just upgraded to an ATI 4 bulb fixture

Most SPS require really stable water parameters which IME can be difficult but doable in a 29gal. Also in a tank that small with a lot of softies there could be a lot of chemical warfare going on between corals. So unless your running a ton of carbon and have really good water movement to keep the slough from the softies off the sps you could have troubles for sure. It may just be as simple as that.
