I explained it was a zoanthid(spelling) collony and that they are very pretty in big groups. Of course she asked me how much and then rattled off the "what a rip off" part.
I can't wait to show her this thread.... :jumping:
Here in Iowa, my LFS charges about $25.00 - $28.00 for something that size.
If your wife bitches too much, tell her take all the frags from the first batch and you have doubled your money right off the top. Anything else then is pure gravy.

Never did tell the wife... :scared:
Don't you know we wives ALWAYS know... we just don't let you know we know. How else do we get away with our own "waste of money" items?

My fetish isn't shoes.... it is diamonds.
As for the Corvettes - we won't EVEN go there. I keep telling him I'm going to trade a Corvette in for a Jaguar. That way, I can wear the animal fur, the Jaguar and then I have to find an ass to pay for it all. Unfortunately in my family... I am the ass that pays for it all.

My LFS usually carry frags for 15 or so...I get nice sized colonies(100+polyps) online though for around $20...but then you have shipping..so it just depends on what you want to pay...you'll get your moneys worth once it spreads though..your wife will be more than pleased after you see the rocks covered in them!
Where??
