I am trying to get an idea of which zoas are now considered high end zoa please post some names and pic if you have them. I want to start my collection.
A lot of it is valuation. The newer stuff commands a higher price until it makes it was around so I'm not sure that's the metric you want to use to chose stuff for your garden. Naturally some of these newer strains are expensive because they really are 'special'.
@Dom I hear what you're saying and I disagree with you in part. Some like frankie's acid trips, predators, even gmks are weeds and do well as common strains (nirvanas where onece $100pp too in the spring of 2018). On the other hand OG wolverines, Soul Suckers, dragon glass, emperor v2s and mohicans are just a little more difficult to keep or are melt prone. Stuff like poinsettias, OG (not CK) Bozo birthdays, ultimate chaos and dayglow volcanos are virtually impossible to find and so command a much higher price- and rightfully so. I totally agree with your point in #12.
@rox I would suggest you approach it from the perspective of 'which red, green, blue, purple, orange' strains do I like best and are not overly difficult to keep?' A $30 frag of tazers is just as good as a $100 polyp of black orchids for most folks.
@SchrutesReefs thanks for the shout out. I paid and extra $50 on something from Legendary Corals recently just because I couldn't find enough stuff to get to the $350 'free shipping.' That means we're not the crazy ones right? lol
@nano reef if you're interested I have a nice little mixed batch up in the sales forum with a few 'higher ends'. Otherwise Cherry Corals, Blue Line Corals, and Maria's Coral reef are all worth a visit and offer discounted shipping (if you're in the mid west) or free shipping past a certain point.
