Ok so a shop owner I'm planning on going into business with selling live food has had some pretty awesome corals in stock lately so i asked him what he had for 1000 baht or less. (1000 baht is about $30). He sent the following 12 pics to me! Some of these are literally colonies! Which should i choose? I don't have a lot of space in my tank and at the same time don't wanna get a piece that's considered too difficult to care for as I have rather little experience when it comes to acros...check out the selection and tell me what your vote is!

Again, he's only asking ~$30 at the most!!

The first one caught my eyes. I’m not sure if it’s the easiest, but it’s definitely pretty.

It caught my eye too and if he's offering me entire colonies for $30, i imagine that frag would be a lot less and fit in well...

first one

Well they are colonies because they are probably mariculture which can be tricky or color change.

The first one looks like a frag that has healed a little so may be the one I would go for.

What about this one...i forgot to include it in the pics but it's encrusted over the frag plug some...

that would be a second runners up for me. Does it look like that in person?

I haven't seen it in person but this guy is certainly no Photoshop or photography expert so I'd imagine it's pretty accurate.

My co-investor and I are actually taking the guy out for dinner to discuss our business plan (selling him live food) on Saturday. He has connections with a number of other shops and even international connections in Vietnam.

#3 or #10

First 3 are the same, 3 being the biggest.

Good luck!
