Zoa was it worth $20?

[xtreeme]

Got my first zoa. LFS had this small rock I got it for $20. My first mushrooms too (not sure of the type).
Will post better pics later .3 megapixel. I want to get a new one (later today I hope LOL).

If you are happy with them then of course it was worth 20 bucks. That is a reasonable price.

rest

Im happy with them. The mushroom I almost didnt get they were $50.
ID?

if you paid 50 for the shrooms then i think thats way to much.....i have seen those same shrooms for sale on here for 2-5 dollars

Thanks I thought so. I asked for the zoa rock for $20 (wanted $40 at first lol).
I only have one LFS with any frags they are all soft. GSP is $50! Xenia is $40 also. I should get from here.

yea thats the same way my lfs is..........we have 3 of them within like 40 miles of me....but they never have corals sometimes they have a couple heads of zoas for 20......small frag of gsp for 25....kenya trees for 20....its way to expensive...but the shipping on saltwaterfish.com is expensive to.............best thing to do is find a nice trust worth guy/gal on here and trade with them

i think you got a good deal on the zoas...there is way more then 20 heads on it.....most ppl sale mixed zoas for 1-2 dollars for 1 head

Cant really tell from your picture, but if those discosoma mushrooms are purple or blue. or become purple or blue, then $50 is still too much, but they sell for about $10-$15 a head. Also cant tell how big they are, bigger the shroom higher the price.
As far as the zoa's $20 is fair. Unfortunalty when you only have one LFS store around they can get away with charging what ever.

 

[cowfishrule]

its only worth it if you really like it.
if i wanted a specific mushroom, and it was $50, then to me, its worth it.

They are kinda red brown. LFS had on th top rack of frag tank. So the color could change? Both are about 2"
Heh I figure once I get a few I can trade back.
