I can ship you some...I don't trust people comin to my home though. no offense.

I agree. they are still out there, but harder to find. somehow, people price them like they are liveaquaria or something. those selling at $10 are assets to this hobby.

Deals are out there to be found. I just picked up a 10 piece for $150 shipped. Very good deal IMO. Check the for sale section.

Some of the sponsors have good deals. Check em out.

But a lot of LFS over on west coast have $10 SPS frags. Guess we are lucky?

You can get $10 buck frags.No problem!But I will tell you,good luck finging them form a store front.Corals dont sell for a simple $10.I have only seen hobbiest selling them for a $10 price.Other than MR.C who sells them for $10,but they are mainly smaller peices and mostly LPS.I have no prolem with his frags though.But good luck finding a store from that will sell them.Might get some browns and greens.Mabey a light blue or something.But not really much!

Come to FL. I've got one store with 4 huge frag racks full of $10 frags. Anything from a few zoas (many different colors) to acros, montis, etc. Not just browns/greens.

Another store that is literally a mile from that store has a $10 bin, $5 bin, and sometimes even a 2 for $5.

A store literally a mile and a half from that store has 8 frag tanks with nothing but $10 pieces...

Come to FL...it's nice here and the oil hasn't hit shore yet

i got a frag pack for 11 frags, after 80+ bucks for shipping i make about $14-15 a frag depending on where they get shipped.

It's costing you 80 bucks to ship? Ouch.

From CA to the East coast it runs 75-86 bucks. It suuuuuuuuucks

Yeah that sounds horrible...is that just because of the bulk of shipping 11 coral? I only really ask because I'm about to do some shipping and I wasn't figuring it would be so crazy for shipping.

 

[DBarsotti]

My box usually weighs anywhere from 6-8 pounds with10-14 corals in it. I use 10x10x10 boxes.

Part of it is because it is shipping from west to east, with next day delivery by 10 am or noon. Which actually means that 4 hours is cut out because of the time change.
