a 100 dollor frag wont be worth the wait but a 1000 n better frag is def worth the wait....specialy if u cant afford it....and havein a chance to own it at such a great deal why not.....even if u can afford it why waste 1000 when theres a group buy for 250 all u have to do is wait......
we gotta stop being neg n give it a shot.....i already got eveything set up with sexy corals they have alot of high end stuff n its not my first time dealing with them.....A++++ maybey we can start of small see how it works out.....

sexy corals is one of the biggest rip offs out there.
How come? What went wrong? Who was the grower? What were they growing out?

ora red planet 3\4" $75 ? they are too high priced, also photoshopped pic's and overly blue lights, corals wont look the same once you get them and if i can find the thread i will link it

What causes a frag to be $1000 btw?

I see the advantage, but it is a lot of risk for the grower. If you want to try with something small and not too expensive I can participate as a buyer.

I can sell you some $1000 frags if you want to attempt this....

From where I sit, this whole idea sums up pretty much everything wrong with the hobby today--- corals as trophy acquisitions with value determined by fancy names and false rarity. My challenge to you all--- buy corals you like and can afford and then grow them until the colonies are big enough that when you frag them you don't notice they have been fragged. There really are ways to enjoy this hobby without the compulsion to buy, collect and frag without end.

you do realize that in the years it will take to grow your rare and hyped coral, the price will come down exponentially. if you think of coral as an investment, you are going to lose out sooner or later. just my .02, have fun and good luck.

Agreed, but who adds up those things and figures out the price?

If you're doing a high end zoo pack you're almost better finding the same amount of people to buy in as frags you are getting.....then that way each person is getting a frag. Then you know who you want to trade with once you have them grown out.
So if you get sopranos, paridise, lima lemon, and another. 4 people to buy in each get one. More like a group buy if you are getting a good enough discount on the pack. My.02

For me $100 about the absolute most I'd pay for a frag not really into chalices but I'd do a grow out for a few sps pieces like mother of pearl and other le pieces

I like that group buy I'm in lol!
I have seen and heard of quite a few group buys like this. I have only heard of one failure and the coral didn't die, The grower just kept the coral and gave out a false address and changed his phone # from what I was told. I like the idea of a group buy, but only with people that I know in person and I could go to their house and see their tank. I wouldn't get involved with somebody just saying hey you don't know me but I need 300 dollars from you for this to work.
