That is a quarter on the coral. A quarter is 1" wide so you know how big it is.

Yeah they do come in once in a while, you got to look out for them though. They are as coveted here as in the US!

Haha...I ask the guy to put the quarter there so I can have some idea of the size before we buy it. Still deciding though. Not exactly what I want to pay for so I might have to back out.

Shaun Monahan,

I hope you didn't pay $xxx for that piece my friend...I am pretty sure that is the same piece I was looking at.

He agreed to sell it to me for less than xxx but I passed because I didn't want to set the price for those vendor.

It sure is a very nice piece though. Very unique color combination for an echino.

Looking good mustang
The first one looks like it needs some love and it will color up for you. The last two are a mycedium cups, right? I like them both, nice score.

How rare are the mycedium cups? I almost bought a green one at my lfs. They called them elephant totus, or something like that.
