Acanthastrea maxima

[kevin b]

At a fish store near me, i have been seeing sveral rare frags popping up every once and a while, this time it was a maxima. It is bright orange and is about two inches in diameter. What would be a good price for this?

It looks a lot like this-

They're usually selling for over $100 per polyp. www.diamondsinthereef.com has frags of these too. I have a very small colony of what I believe are A.maxima. The polyps are HUGE!

I went to the store yesterday and found that the price was 200 dollars.
