I have a couple of zoa frags that I want to trade for credit but im not sure how to determine their worth.

The zoas in question are radioacrive dragon eyes and blowpop.

How to you figure a fair price per polyp/frag?
 
Decide what you want for them and just ask for that in credit.

Take into consideration what other corals are selling for at the lfs. If the lfs is selling other zoas for $30 frags, you'll be lucky to get $15 for them.

In my experience only the high end shops care about the names.

A quick Google search and I found both of those zoas for $25 from different vendors. $10 a frag with 3-4 polyps is what you're looking at in store credit

A quick way to ballpark what an lfs paid for something is just divide the price they are listed for by 2 and that will get you close.

If you're wanting store credit for them, you need to be realistic with a price and give them a reason to get them from you.

I figured $10-15 a frag based on the 2-3 polyp price but each piece is atleast 10 polyps so I wasn't sure how to scale it up. Thanks.
