Here's a pics of my mother colony of the pink polyp cap and the superman monti.
The reason why the prices on the superman monti can be so variable is because there's many look-a-likes. Only the original superman (pictured above) commands the 80 bucks per 1/2" or so price. All the look-a-likes or copycats can be bought for the same price or less for a mini colony because the color isn't as intense as the original.
The original superman is known to have come from John Susbilla (Tubs), but John had actually got the first colony from a guy named Jason Kho a few years ago. Jason just recently got a frag from me to grow again.
Jamie, prices really depend on the actual piece. You can join your local club and people would probably just give you small frags of digitatas or caps that grow fast. Or you can get some of the rarer and more colorful pieces for $80+ for 1/2" or so.
Thx for the nice trade TX. The clam's not as blue as the pic showed, but still looks really pretty.

sweet viper! the color on that superman really is spectacular. and that seem slike a nice little fragging system you got going there! ***) how often are you able to make a frag? the one i have, although isnt as blue as yours, and a little more red/purple, has been growing really fast even though ive only had it for 2-3 weeks.
also, if you are looking to ship on of those caps to the east coast, let me know :joy:

Thanks!
I got my first 1" frag almost a year ago, maybe like 11 months ago I think. Since then I've cut about 20 half inch plus frags and I still have the main colony which is about 3 square inches. The colony has been moved around a lot though, so the growth could've been a bit more if I kept it in one spot.
Does yours have purplish polyps or red like mine? There's a bunch with dark red/purple polyps that were aquacultured in Bali and Tonga that people have been selling as supermans lately.
I can ship the caps to the east coast, but I don't have any frags of it right now. I'll let you know when.

yeah. it is a little more purple than red. and there are a lot mroe polyps than most of the supermans ive seen. more per square inch. so it appears a little more purpleish and you cant see the blue as well. but it is still a red/blue color and i do like it a lot
