Wanted: High end sps LARGE colony pics

Ssteve · 05/22/2018, 07:08 PM

So I recently sold off a ton of stuff and looking to get into some higher end sps since my tank is stable and growing things well. However it seems most people cant help but to frag things up so its hard to really see what these expensive pieces have to offer once they are grown.

I normally don't frag anything until it needs it but I figure that if I spend the money now, I will at least be able to trade pices for stuff or get a few bucks back out of some coral when the time comes to move things, prune things, get out of the hobby etc.

So show me your BIG expensive colonies, not those 2" to 3" "mini colonies" either.

I think most of these corals are so expensive that people who have them constantly frag and sell. So you rarely see big colonies of them. Once they get common, their price drop and so they dont fit into you description.

For example, strawberry short cake was once considered a very expensive and rare acro. Now it is much less expensive and you can find pictures of large colonies of it.

At one point even ORA blue millepora was going for $300+.
