    How much to charge whom? Individuals or LFS?

    My LFS gives me about half what he would sell for.

    Depending on your area, you may not even be able to give some types of xenia away! LOL!

    Sometimes , you can trade it for something you want! Have you found a local Reef club yet?

    The price of a coral is dependant on the buyer. Find someone in your area who is looking for xenia and maybe trade with them.

    Many people use xenia in their refugiums as well.

    Los Angeles is loaded it Xenia, you might have a hard time selling it. Your local clubs trade it like it's candy :D FWIW, Tong's sure had a load the other day when I went by ;)

    um.... if you look around some of the older posts theres a thread on here on shipping livestock. Gresh must've put that up for me.

    Use that, Ebay, and Frags.org is great.
