    How much would you think and ORA Rose Millepora frag would go for? I was just at the LFS and the worker said that the owners thought it was something else and was charging very little for it so I picked up up. I'm wondering how much it should go for.

    I have seen a 1 inch frag for 40 before. I love the rose mille, but would not pay those prices.

    I think it was rose Millepora. That might have been what he was saying it isn't. It might be something similar, but it has green in it as well. Any clue as to what it could be?

    That is my favorite mille right now. I have yet to see one in person.

    Congrats on the find.

    How much do you think a frag would go for? I got it for 50 and the LFS guy said it should be 100 but everyone else at the store thought it was regular rose mille. Thanks.

    They seem to be going for more than 50 on the internet. How rare a coral is it?

    If it's red planet it's not rare at all. All ORA corals are not rare by any means because ORA is a large aquaculture operation so when they release a new coral thousands of people end up with that coral relatively quickly. It's a great coral though, one of my favorites, I believe it's actually Acropora Hyacinthus not Millepora though.
    $50 is a good price though unless it's a really small frag. My LFS around here sell them for $65 and I think that's better than a lot of places.
