Seems as though everyone and their dog has the Red Planet these days. It is a bit of a weedy SPS but that's not a bad thing in this case. The demand is still high for the Red Planet but then so is the supply now.

I will add there is way less of it in E-town than there appears to be in Calgary and the wet coast.

I can't help but wonder what You and Doug think its worth

Default Frag

Great thread here.

When I first started in this hobby I really wanted a red planet frag. There are vendors in Calgary that were/are selling a 1" frag for fifty dollars. The attraction for me was because it was considered to be rare. Now that I've been in the hobby for about a year a lot of the tanks I've seen have red planets. Everyone's got them now and I now have no desire to pay a premium for a coral that is in every sps tank.

That being said and to answer your question, I would pay $15 for about a 2" frag. It's still a nice colourful piece. I just don't think it commands the price it used to. It's a supply and demand thing and it I think it's a common coral now.

I was thinking $20 to $40 and Laurie was thinking like $60.... And just to clarify, the frag is not just single 1" long branch, but a small cluster of nubs

I'd still pay 20 - 40 for a nice small cluster.

there are a lot around but they also still get bought up fast so it can be tough to find one.

$25 is what I'd consider the going rate over here, I have several frags of it and that's probably what I would ask for and they are over 1" with multiple nubs. But I rarely sell frags these days, better to use them for buying leverage at a certain store
