So I found a STEAL of a complete haul of corals. Let me know what you think.

So a worker at a fish store who I’ve become friends with over the year has receded me to a client of his who’s trying to get rid of a lot of stuff. The stuff is hard to get and for Pennie’s on the dollar and am récidivons them tomorrow. Please let me know your thoughts! I’m sharing pic tu res of the the tank which I’m buying every piece in!

If there's value to you, then it's worth every penny.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

The stuff is hard to get

Where are you at that corals are hard to get?

 

[Waters]

I guess it depends on how much you paid. There are a couple of standouts (the grafted monti for example) but most are pretty common. Either way, good way to make a large impact on your tank at one time

No I mean some of them are no? I’m paying 900 for everything. Each piece is around 10-50$ max included with 2 yellow tile fish, leopard wrasse, and 3 blue eyed fish (forgot the name)

Yes exactly thank you and I’m paying 900 for everything with a couple of fish

Some nice looking coral!

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

Ah... how are you basing pennies on the dollar? $100 per coral doesn't seem like local pricing, that's maybe LFS or internet pricing.

That's taking a name of a coral, looking it up online and saying $100 per coral is a steal.

Personally, when I looked at those frags, I thought $200 would be a fair deal. A steak would be half that.

 

[hexcolor reef]

Those bowers and what seams to be a watermelon chalice would be the only interest.

I'm seeing some very common, low end coral in those pics like spongodes Monti, digi, candy cane etc...the small rainbow chalice is nice and lobo or w/e it is. Unless you know some of the trade names, I'm not sure $900 is a good deal at all. Nobody is paying $100 per coral for most of that.

 

[albano]

If you feel that it’s a good deal, that’s all that matters.
I’ve probably done 15-20 complete tank buyouts in the past 10 years… can always trade or sell off the extra pieces.

 

[Cell]

I'd honestly consider backing out if it's not too late.. Especially if your goal is to chop some of this stuff up to sell.

I disagree that if someone not in the know feels like something is a good deal, that is all that matters. If I was about to get ripped off and didn't know any better, I would like someone to educate me and help me save my hard earned money. Now it may be there is a very high end colony of something in those pics that sells for hundreds, but nothing really sticks out that much for me. I sell large 3-4" frags of Grafted Monti for like $20 in my area.

+1 on average to poor deal for common coral. I don’t want to burst any bubbles but it is definitely not pennies on the dollar.

Nono it wasn’t just for the corals! I got a bunch of equipment, a bunch of fish, 2 tile fish, a tang, a leopard wrasse, and a bunch more. The corals are not the only thing included in that price !

Most corals I bought were in the range of 25-45$. I got many fish along with it, and a lot of equipment.

No, it was included with a bunch of equipment, every coral was around 24-50$ max

Yes, I miss wrote that’s why everyone is freaking out, I meant 5$ per coral lol not 50 hahaha
