Gee, 140.00 starting bid for a 1" piece, and to think someone will actually bid on this piece.

From what I have seen that is about normal for the Tyrees version? I need to know how to tell if it is Tyree or not?

surfn · Sep 17, 2007

doesn't look like the tyree IMO.......but rather just another random watemelon morph

theres probably a dozen or more types of watermelon chalices out there now, they are becoming much more common and easier to get ahold of.

so i wouldnt say there is 1 true watermelon anymore.

I think its crazy how much this coral is going for lately!! I've seen 1/2" frags of this coral go for $300+ on ebay in the last few months. It'll take so long for that to grow out any size.

But that's they way she goes.... lol

You got some you want to sell cheaper?

Reef Goddess · Sep 17, 2007

Nah, but I don't need it. I'm very happy with my 4 beauties. If find a watermelon colony in the future I will def sell the frags for cheaper than that. ;]

Like my cespitularia, its growing on my frag plugs now and I don't plan to sell 1/4 inch frags for $100 . I mean jeez. ;p
