Chalice Echino Live Coral Acanthastrea Australia - eBay (item 320306507598 end time Oct-05-08 22:20:32 PDT)

 

There is no way....I couldn't spend $280 dollars on one coral. Very pretty though!

 

id buy that if I could keep it alive, maybe in a year

 

Very nice if not a wee bit pricey Acans are surprisingly durable too. I don't know about you but from my experience corals rarely turn out as colorful as in the "pictures".

 

I was wondering the same about the color in the pics.

 

Agreed... I'd hate to kill $300.

 

If the coloration of a coral is quesionable, look at other things in the picture. Like with that chalice, look at the egg crate. Its white, like its suppose to be, so thats more then likely its true coloration on the coral. I have seen several chalices similar to that one. Austin Aqua Farms, the people selling that, have a great reputation.

Australian corals are known for being super colored, which is why they fetch a much higher price, not to mention they're a lot harder to get. Here are some examples...
