It sounds like the more you pay for a fish the quicker it dies. I would be willing to pay $200 for a fish/coral. However, I have always found what I wanted for less than $125.

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.
