I want to buy some Tyree coral

[EliWhitney314]

But I am not sure if the price is fair or not. The guy is asking 200 I think a head.

Kind of looks like this but much more stunning.

Tyree LE Bubblegum Monster Chalice : Juicy Corals, Rare Corals, Exotic Corals, Live Corals, Aquarium Corals

Is that where you pulled the pic from?

It's $225 for a 1/2-inch frag containing one eye. OUCH!

Looks nice to me but $200 a head? OUCH!!! That sounds a little steep to me. I have seen tyree for half that before. Maybe i should have jumped on it. Chalice for 2 hundred..... anyone??? anyone???

 

[EliWhitney314]

So I am not getting ripped off? I don't mind paying the price as long as it isn't really a 30 dollars coral. haha

I personally think that's an outrageous price. Scott Fellman at reefbuilders wrote a great article on some common corals that aren't totally expensive but can be stunning nonetheless. Acans can be fantastically gorgeous at a low price...

 

[EliWhitney314]

Yeah it is a ridiculous price but you should see it.

 

[XxKnuckleheadxX]

you can find it cheaper on craigslists usually...

I still would NEVER pay $100 - $225 for a teeny tiny 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch frag. I don't think I'll ever be confident enough in my reef keeping abilities to spend that kind of money on something so small!

chalices are super easy though. moderate to low light. medium to low flow. very hardy corals.

how about that bad boy lol

 

[Bifferwine]

Damn, that blue and orange one is INCREDIBLE.

If I had a tank dedicated to growing those, I'd never have to work again. Or, at least until everyone else caught on and started growing their own also...

 

[EliWhitney314]

I was thinking about selling some.

 

[EliWhitney314]

Some of those prices are insane.

 

[XxKnuckleheadxX]

thats last one is not even steve tyree chalice. that originated from world wide corals. very rare. its not wide spread yet thats why its so expensive.
one bad thing. the super nice ones grow super slow lol.

 

[Bifferwine]

Two of the chalices are $1000 per eye :shock:

 

[XxKnuckleheadxX]
