Well around here, gsp and colt corals are a dime a dozen, It just depends on the market in your area. Most LFS will just give you credit towards another purchase and normally they tell you what they will give you for a coral. my guess would be around $5-7 a piece for the gsp and $10-15 for the colt. Like I said it just depends. If you could sell to actual hobbiest you would get a better deal more than likely.

sorry this is a little off topic, but how are you getting your gsp to stay put? I've fragged a few pcs, but they dont seem to want to attach to the rocks i placed them on. Not sure if they keep getting knocked off by snails/hermits or what. Definitely not current, just keep finding them on the substrate.
To try to answer your question, I personally wouldnt take less than $20 a pop with the exception of the single shroom ($5-10). As was stated earlier, they are fairly common corals so the demand may not be that high. Best way to look at it would be: How much did you pay for YOUR corals and try to at least get most or all of your $ back for the frags. After all, you took the time to raise them, you should be able to get your original colonies for free...technically:thinking: Good luck, I'm trying to raise some colonies myself for a straight trade for some pulsing xenia.

Hey Ty.... I would be interested in buying the purple mushroom from you, if you can't get a good price at your LFS. Let me know! You can contact me at michelleownz@cox.net

yeah the mushroom isn't worth much at all. I origionally paid 5 dollars for two and they multiplied like crazy, now I have at least 20 + now.
The gsp I just put some super glue on the back of them and place it on the shell or rubble.
I don't remember what I paid for the corals I got them a long time ago.
