    I really doubt and LFS would give you 5.00 cash for either of the type frags you are dealing with maybe 1.00 too 2.00 cash or they may offer 5.00 in store credit its always a win win for the LFS

    P.S just saw above post for 3.00 jump on it thats a good deal for you

    well at my LFS I traded for store credit:

    Torch with two heads - $20
    3 GSP frags (50+ polyps) -$10 each
    Acans frag with two polyps - $35
    Green Plating Monti 1x1in - $20

    My LFS gives half the selling price of the corals if you use store credit. It's way worth it. Let them grow out a bit before you decide to sell them. You'll get more for them.

    Wow what lfs gave you $3 a pop? I would have been shocked to hear a store credit? Fast growers are a dine a dozen, but take your $ while you can.

    I really doubt they would survive shipping, Kenyas and Xenia do not ship well.
    Find a local club or craigslist for your area and I am sure you will find someone wanting to get rid of some.

    Xenia and Kenya are both picky items sometimes they grow so fast you can't control them and other times they just melt away to nothing.

    I sell my frags (purple xenia, usually 1"-2") to my local big als. I get $5 store credit per frag. Win win situation. They turn around and sell them for $10 each, and I spend my credit at the store anyhow.

    They move quick too. Every time I'm in there, the 3-4 frags I sold a day or 2 prior are gone, and the manager is asking for more.
