Is this a good price?

I was at the LFS and they had a cool acro from ORA they said was a purple voodoo, though from what ive seen around the 'name' is blue voodoo. They said 30 bucks and its about 5 inches tall, defiently not a tiny frag

 

thats a pretty good price IME.

 

$30 usually gets you a 1" to 1 1/2" frag, sounds reasonable to me

 

Id nab it if all looks well . 5" is pretty darn big.

 

ORA has a purple nana, and a blue voodoo.

I am guessing it is a purpla nana as those were on sale for about half of what the blue voodoo runs.

I have an ORA purple nana, if you want me to post a pic of it I can. Blue voodoo looks like 4 or 5 other ORA named corals.

in any case, that is a pretty good price.

 

id love to check out that pic horkn! Yeah i have to agree. Most people in my city dont like cool corals, there are a couple acros and a hydnophora that have been tucked away in their DT for over 6 months. I think they didnt sell well because they were under 10k MH with PC actinics so the colors didnt show up well. The have them not in a 70 with 4 T5 bulbs and they look great. For some reason the owner tries to only order from ORA for sps lps and leathers. Also all the fish, but I hate clowns and no one bought the indigo dotties when he stocked them ( i already had an orchid dotty and didnt want to do the death dance)

 

ORA corals are a good way to go! sometimes the fish get a little boring but you really cant go wrong with their corals

 

so Ashley (female unit) had me drive down and put those corals on hold. It IS a blue voodoo AND its only $25!!!! the hydno is 50, but I have an issue my light went caput but its under warentee so If i can get him back up all is good, if not ill have to scramble and wait on them

 

I can post up pics tomorrow as my lights are off now.

25 for a blue voodoo is a good deal. 50 for a hydno, well IMHO I would pass. hydno's are pretty boring, and very common. Many people don't like them because they are so toxic if they get remotely close to another coral they will nuke them. I have bought a 1 dollar hydno frag before. Even then I wasn't impressed.

ORA's sps are where it is at, along with their fish. They don't have much in lps, or softies.

 

so maybe pass on the hydno. Its just supposedly one of the easiest in the SPS field to take care of lol. I might kill an acro, i got a 5 dollar frag a few months back and it RTN'd and I was sad panda..... well not really every frag the LFS rtn'd
