    They sell for up to $25 per polyp. $10 per polyp is a good price.

    so if I asked say 250 for the colony, that would be a damn fair price?

    here is the colony. Hard to get a straight on shot of it.

    Its amazing what they sell for....and what people buy them for per polyp!!!

    I just bought a real nice 30 polyp piece for $30....$1 per polyp!!!!

    All depends on the person selling them really.....some people just like sharing their stuff with other reefers without charging LFS prices and killing people.

    I would start at $10 a polyp, see if anybody is interest, if not, you can always lower the price. You could also frag out the colony. IMO and IME, it would be easier to sell.

    These are sweet. I'd like some, but not until my tank is ready...:-/ Could you sell me a few polyps later?
