Out of curiousity, any ideas how much a polyp is worth?

Take Care,
Graham

Wow Pinapple thats the best bang for buck I've seen in eons! Good show, good show! Beautiful Yuma!

Glad to help.

A safe guess for that polyp would be $50-75 I'd bet.

PineApple House,

Very nice. May I ask where you get this from? Thank you.

[Pineapple House]

Wow, I didn't realize I got that good of a deal! There's at least 5 more availible at the LFS, in the $25-$30.00 range. Here's the newest picture that I took of the Yuma:

It's about 2" across. It's quite beautiful! I think I'm going to buy some more! :)


Calboyz,
I got them in Apex Aquarium, in Culver City.

Take Care,
Graham

Man you are so mean by telling us that. I have a hard time finding those colors but at those prices I would never find. Like I said you are lucky.:rollface:

That Yuma Rocks! The West Coast sucks! It is so unfair you guys are at the heart of the import biz.

aww-right! i'll be in Culver City visiting my brother this weekend!

Graham, are there any more LFS in the area that i should visit?

TIA,

Jeff,
There's plenty in there! They're not all the same color, though. Many oranges, although there may be a red in there somewhere. Tell them that Graham told you about their store, they may give you a discount :)

As far as other stores come, check out this thread:

FWIW, I've had nothing but good experiences with Apex.

If you need their exact directions, please send me a PM :)

Graham,

Thank you for the info. Although they did not have anything like yours left, I was able to pick up some purple ones.:)

[Pineapple House]

Out of curiousity, How much did they charge you?

Graham :)

[calboyz]

$30, no discount. I did not know I might have gotten discount by mentioning your name. Oh..well, may be next time.:p

[Pineapple House]

I say that's still a good deal! :)
