How to price coral frags?

[GillianB]

My Kenya tree has been shedding lately
And I have lots of branches growing on plugs
How much to Kenya’s usually cost? Does the size of the frag influence how much it costs?

Imo Kenyas are pretty the "for free" coral..
In my country everyone is giving them for free

You can try to charge $5-$10 per frag, but free is better and would bring you good karma. Have a look at your local classifieds, I bet a lot of people are selling kenya tree frags, they are super common.

$5-$10 seems fair, $10 for a bigger frag. My LFS is super overpriced on their corals, and they sell 3 inch kenya trees for $15

I'm sure there are a bunch of hobbyists here in the states that would do the same, but I feel like we're so spread out that its sometimes hard to find someone local. And everyone is always trying to make a quick buck, rather than make a deposit into the karma bank

thats a good point yeah.. its so weird because here everything is so "close" compared to you guys..
When I have to drive 45mins I am already lost.. Thats too far for me haha..

But yes.. I know what you mean!

I would gladly give away kenya tree to anyone local.
I unfortunately bought my frag for $10 and that included shipping.

Is it a normal Kenya? Or a neon?

You can probably get away with selling a normal for $5-$10, and a neon for $10-$15.
