So I guess I’m about 6 weeks into this hobby and I’m blown away by the prices of corals posted in the market here and the online sites like WWC. Lordy there’s zoas in the many hundreds of dollars!!
I know they must be fantastic and rare corals, I don’t doubt that. Fact of the matter though is they all look fantastic to me so the hobby right now, relitively, is cheap for me. My local LFS’s here in Atlanta seem to have great prices and no shipping
In the last week I picked up an alveopora with fluorescent yellow petals and a light pink center. It’s stunning and might be my favorite. So that was $10. My stunning green Duncan with blue tips $10. I picked up a piece of live rock - like a buck fifty with a green Rhodactus. It’s amazing and $1.50. That may also be my favorite.
I’m worried about growing up in this hobby, apparently learning more may cost me a ton. So here’s to being a newbie, staying young in the hobby and being amazed by everything regardless of price!
I would love love some rock flowers though.. .. I’m guessing they’re going to burst this bubble I’m in. Shout out to anyone in Atlanta that has a few to sell and doesn’t mind keeping me in this newbie price bracket I’m currently enjoying.
Oh - and let me tell you about my Temu actinic lights .. .
