Acually were i live, there close to 5-10 bucks. Depending on how many you buy maybe less maybe more

It depends. You don't see a lot of tubbs anymore, at least not by me. They're usually in the $5-10 range. Kryptonites I would expect under $5. Rastas still get crazy prices some places. I routinely see $15 per polyp which I think is insane. Don't know about the gobstoppers.

Rastas were expensive at the Reef a Palooza. I wanted one, but most vendors wanted 20 a head. It was crazy!

That's nuts! I buy them for $5 per polyp, tops!

What about fruit loops?

 

[DracoKat]

I can't seem to find any nice zoas for under $10 a head anywhere. LFS has the usual dull colors for cheap, but the nicer brighter colors I have to order online and they get pricey too

I have many rasta frags for sale about $3 per polyps but I'm in Puerto Rico .

My LFS charges $25 a Plug (5-10 Polyps) for Tubbs Blue.

But some people might charge $10 a Polyps.

Same with Rastas.

I have seen Rastas for $20 a Polyp.

I have seen Rastas for 0.25 a Polyp (Yes, 25 Cents - Not a Typo).

Rastas and gob = $5 pp where im at.

I don't even like talking about pricing of coral, i think it's disgusting. Too many people taking advantage of it and too many people feeding the problem by paying for it.

I spoke with a highly known coral vendor and he was telling me the reason why pricing goes up is because people on social media keep talking about the pricing and how much everything is. Well, social media is all over the world and even where the corals are collected (obviously), so the people collecting the coral are jacking up their prices because they see what it eventually sells for in the US.

I had Tubbs blues up for $1/polyp in my area with no interest..

too many people feeding the problem by paying for it.

And this ^^^^ is exactly right.

I'm just curious cause I'm new to this hobby and I want to have nice zoas in my tank but I think most of the people trying to sell their zoas are pricey...That's why I ask so I have an Idea. Thanks for the inputs. I appreciate it.

The zoas that grow slow have a higher price tag from what I have seen and generally are more colorful. Also it depends on where you live. I recently picked up a 5 polyp Fruit loops for 25 bucks.
