... Are you guys serious?

Look up the price of Palau green nepthea. It's not cheap. It's also not a fast growing "garbage" softy.

Edit: Oh yah, I almost forgot to mention the part where this coral is extinct in the wild... Not rare at all, lol.

Here's 1" frags for $40:

1.5" for $45
http://cultivatedreef.com/index.php?...&product_id=33

1" for $75
http://www.reefs2go.com/product/C-BG...hea-Coral.html

$65 frags

A brief writeup on this coral:

Darren, when you grow out the frags, don't let the glib remarks of others bully your prices. I'll trade/buy from you at proper value when they're ready.

Okay, wow those are expensive!! I've been schooled. I had no clue those were that pricy. The original poster said "50" a frag and I was kinda assuming 50 cents. Oops.. My bad!! Ill shut up now.

Looks like a good deal...especially if the buyers are local as shipping would be zero! You've done people a service for selling this locally.

Unfortunately mine only has a slight green tint to it not a nice neon green so it's still probably not worth much, over the years I've given away a ton of this stuff though,

To clear some ID issues up:

Green Sinularia has a beige/tan/grey base and a low-medium polyp density.

Here's an example:



Palau has no beige/tan/grey whatsoever. It's star polyp, throw a rock at your face green throughout the entire body, even at the base. Polyp density is very high and uniform.
