    I have a large green candy cane coral with at least 65 heads on it. What would be a fair price if I was to trade it for corals or fish at a local store? Thanks in advance ... I'm only finding smaller things online.

    It is above and to the left of the leather. Its so big it's kinda hard to find a good spot to sit it. I'm tempted to break it up into smaller pieces.

    Sadly wholesale you get candy cane for pretty cheap. I think you would probably get between $60 to $70 in store credit from you lfs for that many heads. Great looking colony!

    You might be better off fragging it yourself and selling the frags for $15 each on CL.

    Yeah, I'm thinking smaller may be a better way to get more for it.
