What would you pay for this?

[GHOSTLY]

So im being offered by a buddy of mine a nice, healthy circle of gobstopper zoanthids. Just wondering what you would pay for it

 

[jabberwock]

If he is your buddy, $50.

$50-$100 for a mini colony of generic zoas. If the seller starts telling you what they're worth PP its best to walk away and keep your friendship in tact lol

Btw talking about Canadian prices.

 

[spsick]

About fifty bucks there bud

Yes, Generic. To your point, Gobstopper is a hobby name. Is it AKC registered? No, it looks like a gobstopper.

Free. Fellow helping another fellow hobbyist.

I gave my buddy and a fellow hobbyist money for gas to run the generator for me at deer camp last weekend. You don't want a nick name like "Spongey".

Not sure what that has to do with anything. If you want to call names great. Water off a ducks back to me. Doesn't change my reply though. I give frags away to friends. LFS credits me.

$50 seems low for a nice colony like that. If your buddy is looking at market prices, it’s $25/pp USD and don’t want to offend him either. I would think closer to $100 and a six-pack of beer.

That and a 12pack of beer then LOL

Seems like $50 is the general consensus... honestly it just comes down to what it's worth to you...some rare corals i wouldn't want for cheap and some common ones I'd pay much more for...just depends on what you want in your tank

If he's your buddy he should just give you a polyp or two.

My own personally opinion, I would just get one polyp and glue it to a rock. In less than one year it will be a nice little dome shaped colony like in the picture. Then I sell it for $40-$50 and start over.

Part of the fun is watching one polyp turn into a colony.

I used to grow colonies of generic Zoas, then I started buying 1 - 2 heads of the hard to find stuff. I’d rather $50 a head, not colony. Why? Because fragging take 30 seconds, a few rare heads = a torch to the right vendor. I bought 1 grim reaper at $50, now I have 18 heads at $100+ to some buyers. Coral economics

Good advice, except 2 pollups are now thousands and I'm stuck with an infestation. Isolated rocks are key for zoas.
