|  $2500 Corals for sale..are these worth it?
I have ordered from these guys before from thier cherry pickin section b4 and had nice corals. They just posted these big money corals. Are these real prices??? http://www.roesmarineworld.com/newacan.htm
FYI...They have good sales occationally. Great zoo deals that they email me when the sales are on. Sometimes they reduce the shipping rates when they have their sales.
Where is the best deals on corals on the net? Does anyone have any favorite websites?
Jay

I think you'll find that Acans are quite expensive per polyp. They are $50 - $60 per polyp at that site. What do you find at your local LFS? _________ Just tryin to recreate God's perfection in a glass bowl. 20 Gallon Reef W/Live Rock, mated pair of Maroon Clowns, Softies, 110 watts PC 10,000k lighting, and skimmer.  | |

I wish I has a LFS to buy from. Im stuck to ordering from websites. Once in a while when Im in Portland I will buy some and bring them back with me but thats about every 6 months when I visit my Mother.

acans are very pricey...but the mark up is through the last seller (for our store). I've only seen em twice in 6 years but sold them for a fraction...paid less...? Value is in the eye of the beholder. Thier yume is proposturous.....yuma is becoming scrace but captive breeding is rising to compensate from what ive read/seen/heard....again it in the eye of the beholder. Depends on what your after and who
else wants it....or collects it. _________ Yes, tiny has an 11" legspan......  | |

Check out Anthony Calfo's article in the new reefkeeping e-zine, it's about flavor of the week, AKA Acan and Yuma fads  http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-02/ac/index.htm

Wow, they sell Zoo's, does the AZA (American Zoo Association) know this
Sorry, pet peave of mine. It's zo's, or zoa's, but never zoo's as the real name is zoanthid. | |

Has anyone bought anything from Aquacon.com? Thay have some really neat corals on their site. Lots of pink and purple  Their hardgoods are pretty overpriced compared to PremiumAquatics.com though.

| I wasn't trying to get off topic I promise. I probably didn't explain myself to well. I ment that Aquacon.com was my favorite coral site to look at, but that I haven't ordered anything from them yet. Sorry Greshem.  | |
