    Hope someone can help, as I am not that experienced with coral yet. I have a "coral guy" that is willing to overnight me some coral for $100. shipping included and here is the list of coral:
    purple people eater zoas--4 polyps
    green/maroon mushroom--2 heads
    colt coral
    neon green star polyps
    pink centered zoas

    Is this a good deal? Will all of these be compatable????
    I already have a xenia and green centered zoas and I am holding a toadstool coral for a friend until her tank is fixed. Thanks in advance for advice!!

    Yes, that is shipping included, he only lives about 3 hours away, so the shipping is around $15. Thanks so much everyone for the replies, I think I will go with it! I just didn't know that much about the coral yet and wanted some expert opinions.

    I would go for it, if the people eaters are really that, it would be worth it alone. the other stuff is nothing special, but nice. As others have said, I have paid more for less.

    To me, the PPEs make the deal. But you have to make sure that they are TRUE PPEs, there are alot of Zoas that look like PPEs, but arent......do you have pics? The True PPEs, have lime green skirts, purple disk and lime green mouth. So, personally, it wouldnt be worth it to me unless those PPEs are true. Just my 2 cents.
