Taikonaut on RDO said that he knows the seller, and the auction just went crazy. He wasn't expecting that much but when people start bidding high, it's not like you're going to email them when you're the seller and tell them to bid lower.

Where can a guy get some colourful Zoos like that....blue, orange, green, red, pink, purple...... Has anyone ever seen some of the more brightly coloured ones for sale at J&L or such stores? What would they be worth?
I just love the way they look in a massive colony with all the colours of the rainbow.

I would pay $600 USD for a fish if I wanted it enough, but for a coral, especially one that reproduces like zoos do, no bloody way. Maybe $30 for a frag of that size, no more.

I'm willing to bet the soul who ends up paying for it will need to frag it quickly to pay for it. You may get your $30 soon... lol..

The guy that bought that zoo frag must be:
1) very rich to throw all that money away, in which case i would gladly take the money off his hands
OR
2) just gonna bail out in the last second because he wanted to mess around with the auction
or the last answer which i think he is if he actually bought it
3) brain damaged
