Is this worth the price on a Red Goniopora

[lil.guppy]

Is $25 a polyp worth it for this buring red goniopora?

Looks nice, and probably worth the price, but recommend against these in a newly set-up tank. Most very experience hobbiests have trouble keeping these corals. JMO

Who sells gonis by the polyp? Red isn't rare and they are fairly difficult to keep, you could find a nice two colored colony for around $50 if you look around a bit. I won't risk them myself.

Agreed... I see them all the time for like $40... Per polyp? Jesus.. A smaller one would run a few hundred bucks just to die in 6 months..Slap whoever is selling that per polyp

My Bad

I missed the per polyp! I thought it was $25 for the colony - Holy _ _ _ _ ! Ask the Joker selling it if s/he is willing to frag off a couple polyps for you

. JK as the others said $25/polyp is outrageous - they sell for lots cheaper than that. Sorry!

Alveoporas are cheap and hardy substitute...
