If you sell directly to people you should charge bout $15-20 for the xenia, @ my store we give just about what we would normally pay for them (slightly more or less depending on the quality) as for the colt.....make sure its a big frag to get some dough.

I've sold good, large colonies of Xenia and Polyps for $25 which is less than the LFS by 30 - 40%

This is a piece we usually would sell for $15-20...bout 1"x1.75".....but good pieces that are spread over a rock with dood density sell for much more, also dependes on thier color, pulsing, and origin. In your case aquacultured is considered of a higher quality. I judge the price by counting the density of "hands". Keep in mind that price is completley relative to both the buyer and seller. Also Xenias are incredibly easy to ship in insulated envelope with little water and a disposible 24 hour hand warmer.
