Steal or nah?

A guy here close to me is selling this Acanthastrea for 100 bucks

Would you say thats worth or even a steal? Its a big chunck imo.

Nice find!

Seems like a pretty good deal. Nice chunky acan lord, probably some good colors? Hard to tell in that lighting. And the zoas are a nice little bonus. If you've got $100 spare and want to spend it on that coral, I say go for it. Not sure if it's quite "steal" territory, but it's definitely "solid deal" range.

thanks for your thoughts guys!

I do have another hard question…
Each is 25 bucks.. which frag would you go for?

An encrusting monti frag that large is a nice deal for $25. They're all good frags, all worth it, so it's up to you. Best decide based on what you have space for and like the look of.

You can't go wrong with that deal!!!

Ok, I hope so!
But I cant decide, since its only a nano and my space is limited. Dang!

Acan lords are great for nanos. Not aggressive stingers at all, you have to practically poke them with another coral to get any reaction. The encrusting monti could be cool up your back wall, or the digi would be nice with that fade to the tips. That last one, I forget the name, but I think that's one of the really, really fast-growing SPS, so you might not want it in a smaller tank.

well.. It all turned out pretty nice.. That guy asked me if I can help him out transfering the other big tank to the other side of his flat. He would therefore gift me the acan and some other frags.. I was like, of course I will help!

So I can help a fellow reefer and get some free corals.. thats awesome!

If space is an issue i would choose birdsnest. All three are fast growers. The birdsnest and digi can easily be controlled by snipping branches. i say birdsnest just because it is easy to get a compact "bushy" colony whereas the digi is usually much more wiry and want to quickly sent long branches across the tank.
