    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    OK, now you're just showing off. :rolleyes: Just gorgeous. Since the average price of Rastas on line is 20 and up per polyp, you got your self a gold mine. Wish you lived closer, I love to try that strain out.

    Sorry about your fish.:(

    Shipping is high (I dont set the rates, Next day unless in tri state) - but I have frags from $10 (2-3 polyps) to $100 (over 20 polyps) all healed. I would never sell a fresh cut coral.

    I was in a not so local fish store, about 2 hours away. I was helping a friend deliver a couple fish tanks... yeah.... but anyway, we heard of the one reef store and stopped in. I was surprised as the town isn't as big as milwaukee, maybe as big as one of its suburbs? (Anyone local? Am I close?) and there was a lot of nice stuff in there! Lots of nice coral, reef rock base rock, which is some of what I won in Chicago. He had these acans, they were plutonium or something. He had about 6 frags of them, wicked colors, and I asked how much "90$"...."A polyp"............ uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh whaaaaaaaaaaaat? **Backs away slowly** They sure were pretty and I'm sure he will sell them, his coral and livestock were in great shape. He had a moorish idol that was eating frozen, although we technically didn't see it, just took it word. Which, from the rest of the store, I would believe.

    I still couldn't believe, 90$ a head... on an acan, they were 7/8 head frags. :eek:
