Up till now, the most I have spent:

Torch Coral: $60
Fish: Singapore Angel: $70.

The most I would spend:
Coral: $100
Fish: $175-200

The real kicker, is that I have spent more money on damn LR than anything else...

No limit if I like it enough.

But I have to agree with one of the previous posts, the more the fish costs, the more likely it is to die in my tank it seems!

I know spending an unlimited amount on something only drives the hobby to a place where some may not want to go, but if I like it enough, I'll buy it.

Tough one. I would spend more on a coral, but less on a fish. Fish just seem like too much of a risk, while I have always found corals to bounce back if they don't fair too well with all the change/stress.

I'd spend no more than $100 on a coral, and no more than $70-80 on a fish. I also own a small system, so the fish I choose usually don't go past $50-60.

You spent $250 on a Queen angel How big was it when you bought it? I spent $50 on my Queen angel and she's about six inches, still juvi colours, but still $250 I guess I got one heck of a deal!

I haven't spent more then $60 for a fish, my 6" regal tang and my emperor angel. The most I've spent on a coral was $50 for my pink hammer coral.

If it was a fish that is fairly rare and I really wanted it, I guess I might go up to $200.
