Is this rare one? How much they worth for 2"-3" size?

You may want to put this inquiry into the LPS section. A plate coral isn't a soft coral.

I can't move it now. It is too late. Mods - please kindly move it. Thanks

Not rare. Fairly hardy as plates go. Do not keep one with a fighting conch. Must sit on the sand and the conch's spine is a risk.

thanks. I don't have a plan to get conch.

In my city, I keep saying the green ones and only now I see an orange one.

Orange is a pretty common color for a plate coral. 2-3" would go for $40-50usd around here.

Found this out the hard way :headwallblue: I have one about that same size OP and I paid 60 at a local place here in indianapolis. Dont see them often but its not sure rare.

I found a Neon Orange one yesterday at Big Als for $35. I bought it :)

Thank God that I didn't just buy the $60 that I posted on OP. To make it worse, the $60 is located about 1 hour drive one way from my home.

Happy Ending for me :)

Now THAT would be rare with a price tag probably up to $500
