Frag Prices
 
I think I did not express myself clearly on what I considered a frag and this lead to some confusion. My frags are more like a mini colony on live rock than what is typically offered for sale as "frags" on ceramic plugs. In talking with the stores I sell them to, some mentioned they were fragging them again and selling for $30 each. Other stores sold them for $50 to $65 depending on size and growth shape. All the stores said the pink and blue milli is an exceptionally rare coral that they have only ever seen from me.

I think the solution is to offer my customers a choice on how they want the frags. Presently it is just mini colonies on live rock but I will now be offering a frag on a ceramic plug like everyone else does. Prices for frags on ceramic plugs will range from $10 to $30. I will post some pics of the other mother colonies I have and the prices for a ceramic disk frag. These frags will be between 3/4" to 1" and may not have any branches.

There will be some Aussie frags available to. I just got a shipment monday night of Aussie acros and LPS. I will post some pics.

Aquattro 04-05-2012 01:05 AM

Tim, I bought frags from you 10 years ago. I was happy then, I'm sure I'll be happy now :) My order stands.

Maybe post aussie pics after you've got my money and are on your way home -lol

Has anyone called the UFO frag yet? Spencer fell for the sick excuse and gave me some time off to visit the doctor. Odd enough he also is giving me an sps colony to raffle off!
Talk about a good boss:biggrin:

No, it's pretty much torn down. Too much work and extra humidity.

It's a 50g on stand with canopy. Has a sump, but tough to fit a skimmer in it. I'll be selling it, so have a look and see if you like it.

Borderjumper 04-13-2012 04:25 AM

Ok, so tomorrow night Im going to sit down and make a list of frags that people have asked me to bring. If you have changed your mind PM me before that. Please dont make me go to the trouble of bagging the coral, and then you dont show up. If you want something in particluar please ask for it in this thread.

Along with those requested frags, Im going to bring some extra meteor showers, sunset montis, a rainbow monti, and some ricordea. There is a picture of the rics in an earlier post, and I will bag them by number if you want a specific one.

And as a reminder to myself.. bring Loris wrasse!:mrgreen:
