Just wondering what this one is, I picked it up on Saturday, it’s been opening slowly.

Funny I got a small piece myself of the same kind...like a reddish with yellow tips?
I paid a lot for a very small frag from a reputable vendor here on Long Island. Im pretty sure you have the same one

How much did you pay if you don’t mind telling

How much did you pay if you don’t mind telling

$60 for a piece the size of a penny....if this is the same piece as the one Im thinking, it is considered a high end goni.

 

[Evan28395950]

Yeah, I payed around $75, he asked which of the 2 I wanted, I went for the one with the most heads Probably has 8-10 heads

The guy said it was from Indonesia and they were the last 2 he was going to receive for a long time

How much did he sell it to you for? Yes it is an Indo coral. If you can take pics with the blues on, do so I can see the colors as it is hard to see from the pics. Red center, yellow polyps, right?

Looks more like an Alveopora than a goni. Then again I can't actually make out how many tentacles each polyp has

Yes it is red center yellow poly ops, I’ll go check one more time just to make sure. $75 at a frag swap. He said he sold one at his shop the day before for $150
