How much for my rastas

mdlc805 · Feb 12, 2017

I have had this rock with about 35-40 rastas and 10-15 mushrooms for a while now but I recently decided to convert to sps dominant with a small zoa garden so I don't need the rock. My question is how much should I ask for something like this.

Rastas are a very hardy zoa. It use to be hard to keep. I've seen rastas go for as little as 15 dollars for a cluster of 5+. U don't have a goldmine and it would be better to frag because people enjoy frags better than large colonies.

Good luck!

I'm not trying to get rich here lol my lfs told me 150 for the whole rock in store credit. I would frag it but would rather not go to the trouble. maybe if I had multiple frags of multiple zoas but then I would need a frag tank in my apartment. I just want to get a fare price range because ultimately im going to use the money for more corals anyways lol

The LEAR frag swap is coming up in a little under 2 weeks. Rastas are up on reeftrader for $2 - $4 per polyp. My lfs has a bunch of frags of rastas right now for $3 - $5 a polyp.

I would definitely take the $150 in store credit if the offer still stands. Even if they don't have any sps corals you want you could always get salt, test kits, bulbs etc.
