I got a box of 18 acro colonies that came in dead. I didn't know they were worth more dead than alive. I have a great deal for you. No permit required.

Hilarious , do you write your own material? Perhaps we should talk about your prices and how outrageous someone may think they are. How many times have you had a newby over react to a fish that costs over $100 or even $20? Maybe you should consider that this person paid good money for what he's selling and is only trying to recover some of his costs. Those mini colonies aren't what I'm referring to nor is it what he's selling. Show me any retail store selling real ornament corals of the same size for less.

It's pretty easy to point and laugh at someone else but put yourself in his shoes and you'll think different, I don't know anyone that likes to have others tell them what they should sell their own stuff for.

was it your ad, sphelps??

Im thinking about buying them.....how long do you have to cycle the tank before you add them? When things settle down I'll add a few of these http://calgary.kijiji.ca/c-pets-acce...AdIdZ158804944 (by drip of course)......hopefully I can talk him down a bit.

Cmon ....I posted the add here thinking that the majority of us peeps who strive to keep our saltwater tanks full of life, would find the idea of paying $500 bones for dead coral to put in a saltwater tank , funny.....was I wrong?....unfortunately people have varying degrees of senses of humor

Doug my thoughts exactly. We're in the lounge to boot. I don't really care to debate about it and clearly you and I both got the same innocent enjoyment out of it without pondering the intense and complex issues behind a big pile of dead corals someone wants $500 for.

I thought the ad was very funny......
As far as the poor sap trying to recover some of his money.....give me a break.
By the way, J&L has huge dead colonies in for sale for less than 30 bucks each.

Me thinks the responses are funny,not the ad.

When I first got into marines 25 years ago, I bought a large dead coral for around $75 as the main center piece in my fish only tank. It was one of the smaller ones in the store even. I wanted to buy the bigger $100 one but I just didn't have enough money. I still have that coral. It is now sitting on the top of my living room shelf as room decoration.
