I’m not going to break the rules set fourth by renogaw but just search rare zoanthids or rare zoas and so fourth and you will find the coral you are looking for. That’s one of the reason why I get so made when I see these prices so high by other hobbyist. Please do not direct this thread into an off topic discussion. Lets keep it to what Peef started it as.
Yes I do. when they start to grow on other rocks. I sell them for what I pay, maybe cheaper. in some other threads like I said, my reward was the zoas filling the rock. Any other growth from them is gravy. I won't say the name but a couple of members bought a lot of my zoas frag mentioned above just because I did not want them and they happened to see a pic of coral that I was getting rid of and they spotted my zoa frags and started hounding me.
A little secret that I use to make them grow faster. It don't work on all zoas and palys but it works on a lot. I take a modelers knife with the blade that looks like a one sided triangle (I don‘t know the blade number off the top of my head).
I make little slices in the foot. I buy one polyp I make four slices like a start + around the foot and then the cuts make new polyps as it heals. Some may not like the way I force grow polyps but I get a faster growth and cover.
Meet a group of hobbyist a while back who did this and showed me. its works for me.
Its kind of frowned upon I guess from what I was told, but hey it works right.
The three pics below i paid between 20. and 25. per polyp.

this started as a one polyp frag that is now 15 or so in about 8-9 months by makeing little slices on the foot right where it sticks the the rock. As a new polyp is done growing, i make more slices and i keep going untill its to the size i want.

peef, cool thread idea, but i have noticed in my trades that some people think i have something called ABC when it grows out, it looks sort of like ABC but is really DEF , or something as of yet unnamed. maybe there is a way we can make sure people are paying for the same thing.
i personally am all for trading generously so everyone gets more, and the prices come down.
tubs blues 3.50
cinnamon polyp 5
eagle eyes , maybe 2

Nice idea. but some are going to say your trying to set the pricing standard for zoas and palys. I don’t think so since you are saying the average price.
I think if you guys throw an asterisk in front saying something like these prices are the average price per polyp from other hobbyist or retail stores. Also you may want to put in place the pricing gap like you have been doing “X” average cost 2.00-7.00 per polyp.
Since you guys bought the site are you going to put up a donation button thru paypal or let pop ups pay for the domain name?
Maybe even find the stores that sell at prices that fall within the average price and link them. Even ask for banners or what not.
