illuminati sell for over 40$ retail. how you guys grow urs, mine still 1 polyp

Id say anywhere from 200-400 to the right buyer. Per polyp they go for about $40 but it doesnt just multiply as you add more.

I dose all for reef and I use Red Sea ab+ but my Illuminati’s still grow slow like my utter chaos zoa and sbb Hephaestus zoas also grow really slow

Thats insane i bought 2 heads from them in January for $80! What a price hike

TriggersAmuck · Sep 17, 2021

Not sure why the difference? https://worldwidecorals.com/collections/zoanthids/products/wwc-illuminati-zoanthids

Still not the most expensive of their offerings: https://worldwidecorals.com/collections/zoanthids?sort_by=price-descending

Why would anybody buy from Wwc? I don’t know how they can justify their prices.

They curate a massive collection of coral with tremendous overhead. There’s probably hundreds of thousands of dollars in sunk costs between their facility, broodstock and equipment. They sell stuff that’s been aquacultured and conditioned to do well in captivity. They also don’t skimp on packaging for shipping. Is it possible to find their same stuff cheaper else where? In many cases probably. But when you’re buying something from them directly you’re paying a premium for something that exceeds most vendor’s standards. That’s how the cost is justified.
