You can't judge the price based on eBay. Bidding wars make items go fir more than it's really worth. Stores are selling it at 150 pp

which store other than Neptunes are selling these?..

I seriously doubt that is why. It's comments like this that have degraded this hobby the past several years. I do not know if paying 150 for 1 zoanthid is comical or sad, but i feel it is a bit of both. Every time reefers are foolish and continue to pay insane prices for coral that really do not warrant the price tag, they continue to ruin the hobby. Greed travels in every circle, and boy it is bountiful in the reefer world these days.

So I take it you don't know anything about photography correct?

Notice the "black" eggcrate in the first pic that is now has a blue tint?

Take a closer look at the algae and coralline in the second pic, saturation is up the profanity removed.

PS- I am talking about the pics from the ebay auction.

Says the guy who claims he has a rock of 200+ of them and still haven't posted a pic...

And I don't see why paying 150-300 for a polyp is any different then paying 1500-2k for one eye of a chalice...

I think we've already established that we all
live in different tax brackets and what seems like a lot to one might be chump change to someone else..if someone has the money and they are collectors they will pay whatever it cost to get it in their tank as soon as they can....

It is what it is and there I no changing it no matter how much eeryone complains about it...

U might be right but the coloration of the polyp(s) looks just like any other pictured in this thread...
