    Just bought these guys for 35$, I counted 6 heads, so around 6$ a head. IMO they are definitely worth more then that, the smallest is 1.5" across.

    Thanks, I think i need to move them down, they are the highest coral in my tank. I just really love the color the blue LEDs bring out in them.

    Those are Rhodactis mushrooms. VERY nice buy, but they can be easily bleached that high up in the tank. You should move them down.
    Again, nice add ;)

    Thanks, the owner was just about to put them in his DT. :) One appears to be about to split, So more heads for me :) I just moved them down before this post.
    So they are worth twice what I paid, I love my LFS.

    Ah, well even my mom, who barely knows anything about saltwater corals, said that's a good deal and told me to get it lol.

    Either way I'm happy with it. :)
