Default Hammer worth $130.00?

Hello

Wondering if a orange hammer coral from Australia is worth $130.00 it is about 2" by 2" by 4" high.

I think that's priced a bit high, but they are so rare it's hard to say.

Here's one to compare to: http://areefcreation.com/store/index...roducts_id=155

It would be worth around $50 and at the most $60 for one.

i dunno... I mean it's nice, and I dare say cooler than the normal green (if we are to be subjective), but I still wouldn't fork over that much for it, personally.

wow!! that would be an awesome price for one of these considering most people who think these things should be cheap do not put in to consideration the expense of getting these type of things in.

Could you even imagine what the shipping ALONE would be from Australia? Crazy I am sure but hey what do I now maybe your right but I think personally anything that you see once a year or so....is worth having when no one else does...just my 2 cents though.

We've had them twice in two months and likely will have some more in another month or two and that's what we'd be selling them for unless price went up on them. There odd when you get them they don't look anything special (kind of drab) but color up really nice after they've been in your tank for a month or two.

The hammer coral I bought at one of the LFS in Edmonton looks a lot like the one in that link. I don't remember what the store called it, but I thought it was a pink hammer coral. I paid $60.00 for it, and it's about 3-4" big.
