Taking an idea from my friend TommieLynn I am starting a thread on buying cheap corals. Below is a pic of a frag I picked up at my LFS for $35. A nice neon green candy cane with 12 small heads. Would you have purchased this coral? Let’s see some pictures of other reefers cheap acquisitions

Nice find Joe, all my present coral are from finds except my hammer which was the start of it all, present from my son. No pictures from original purchase and now it has been a few years since I added a coral to my tank.

Not a bad price for 12 heads. I think I paid $25 for my candy cane that had 6-7 at the time.

Nice find Joe!
I'll have to gather up a few of my good finds! Do trades/private sales count, or only from the LFS?

I am a bad bad bad aquarium Dad at the moment, I can't even see the tank inhabitants due to the green algae sloth! So no pics for me until I hit the cleaning chores. Nice candies Joe, have a few of my own, somewhere. Lol
 
I love this thread! Here are my "good deals" I feel I have gotten on corals.
3 Heads of hammer coral for $20

Mushroom Frag with 6 mushrooms for $5

Star Polyp frag for $5

Duncan frags for $6 a head. I got 3 heads so 18 for all 3. One is angry in this picture

I have a lot more, but I will post later to keep the thread alive.
