LOL there is a store within 1/2 hour of us that sells ALL livestock at least double our price. No kidding every animal they have is worse looking and at least twice the price. We beat all their dry goods as well. Some by a lot and a few by just a little.
None the less they have been in the biz for a few decades now and still make a killing from uninformed customers

mine was a dry good item. it was a wet dry sump,dont remember the details, but it was priced at 375 dollars. i know this was outrageous b/c i saw the exact same one at a different LFS for 175 dollars. i think it might have been like a pro clear aquatics or something, and it was fairly small.

Good God!
Ultra max, I'm guessing around $100-150 at my lfs
rics-also a guess, but about $40-50
Purple tang seen one for $79
I just bought a 6" shell or something with what looks to be 2 seperate 2.75" colonies of purple clove polyps for $36, which I thought was good, cause its big and bright.

$1149.95 for a Hamilton Metal Halid Dual 175 watt w/ NO Actinics plus bulbs. that is the worst that I have seen at my LFS here.

I was in the LFS last week and they had a small coco worm for 70.00. I've never priced one online or otherwise, so I really don't know if it was out of line or not...but it seemed outrageous for a worm to me
At the place sharks mentioned, saw a toaadstool, about 3" in diameter for 79.99. But they need to make the revenue for the 3600 gallon reef system there setting up. They just added 1400 lbs of rock into one side(its dual 1800 gallon tanks) and thats even close to what they're goin to need.
Yeah Hap, this was Dallas North. SW Paradise is expensive, but never outrageously, and their setup is immaculate and the corals are the healthiest in town. So I don't mind spending the extra money there.
I found the answer to the $200 elegance and why things were so expensive... this particular LFS was about to have a huge 20% off sale, and as always, they jack the prices up 20% or more the week before the sale. Shameless.
