Most Wanted?
I was just wondering out of all the years that people are on reef central what is the "Most Wanted LPS". In my opinion i think it is the watermelon chalice. What do you guys think feel free to express your opinion and post pics if you want.

I saw something called a mummy eye on reefs.org. Green body with pink eyes, kind of like a reverse watermelon. Sweet piece.

The Aussie Acans are currently the most wanted, I would say.

I would still say that chalices are the most wanted. $400 for a 3/4" frag.

That's not bad Offers for Mummy Eye frags have already reached 4 digits. Is this hobby crazy, or what?

I'd frag that bad boy in a heart beat Unarce. As long as you're not the one running the price up, and that's what someone is freely offering you... take their money! I am always on the look out for a nice coral, but I think I top out at ~$150 for a frag. A whole colony is a different story.
I have to agree with Iron Chef, aussie Acanthastrea are the big craze right now. Micromussa is still hot but maybe on the downfall (sorry Doc, I hope Im wrong haahaa). Chalice corals (Echinophyllia, Oxypora, Mycedium) seem to be heating up as they should, quick growers, gorgeous colours, neat shapes. Truth be told there are the untouchables that will always be a little more than everything else...and that's if you can find it in the first place. I think people are actively looking for aussie acans, or anything Australian, the most right now.

Oh no, I didn't get the offer. I'm too chicken to frag it anyway I'm new to the 'chalice' thing.

Anything Aussie is hot for sure. I got a nice little piece of that "supposed" reverse sunset monti. It is most definately awesome. The color blows away the "Fire Engine" montis which it more closely resembles. I think it is going ot be called the Forest Fire monti because it more truly captures the green and red contrast of the body to the polyps. In the end what's hot is whatever you want .

That's probably true in most cases, Alicia. I can't prove either if what I heard was true.
I guess I don't mind so much when vendors try to hype up their corals. I hear they have to gain favor with wholesalers to get the primo stuff, which I'm sure is pretty costly. The market and prices seem to police itself anyway. The Aussie stuff is hot and pricey right now, but it's already saturated. Might not last very long. Please put me on your list for the Forest Fire

Agreed, a few more months of large shipments of Aussie stuff and it will be more commonplace and easier to find, prices will drop eventually. I must say, some of those Acans comming in are so colorful. I love 'em.

Forest Fire Monti frag (I think that name suits it a bit better than the reverse sunset or sunrise monti, but call it what you want ). The polyps were slightly retracted from disturbing it to get the picture and it still has more coloring up to do. It is definately happy in the tank and doing great. I can't wait for this guy to color up more and get big, mmm mmm delicious
