The Most Expensive Coral in the World!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- What you are seeing here is literally the most expensive coral in the hobby today. It is called a Bounce Mushroom, and one this size can sell for a house payment... on a million dollar home. In this video I’ll discuss the trendiness of super high end corals but look a bit closer at what the deal is with these mushrooms.
What do you think? Are you a big fan of these mushrooms? Let me know in the comments below!

I can tell you something mind blowing. I got one of these for around $30 at a frag swap.
I’ve just seen an uranium bounce mushroom for sale for £15 too bad I don’t like them otherwise I would’ve snatched it up
Exactly just like torches are a fad
Shut up and take my money....err..wait..I blew it all on high end led lighting....lolol
lol
lol 2 xr15 my pocket got hurt
should have bought some 165W from ebay for 78£ each. they work great.
i was looking at the website for the aquarium down the road called mentone aquarium which is in victoria australia n the corals on sale they had were for $10,000 $100,000 and $1,000,000!!!!!!! anyone know anything bout that???? i mean a million dollar coral????
Literally me on Saturday =.= learnt that 'blackboxes' are not worth the money and time spent without having a light (doing a dreaded return)
Nice video Than! Up my alley forsure!
Omg I a huge fan
OMG I MET YOU AT AQUASHELLA
OMG i just discovered this channel. Yes. Thank you. Subed.
the end was great! haha good touch!
Personally, I find these a little creepy looking. I'd prefer to spend my cash on a coral that I really liked over rareness.
This is an awesome looking mushroom coral in my opinion, but so expensive! Good video Than!
Great video like always! I never really looked into these, I saw a few at Macna and they were priced insane never knew the whole crave for these types of coral. It looks alright but it looks weird to me haha. Thanks for explaining how they form!
+Chris Czechowicz The few that were at MACNA weren't even that nicely colored from what I recall. Still, there was one there that sold for over $3k.
Yep... I gotta few of those. Sold my house and car so it's just me in the side of the road with my power generator and reef tank.
+ElectricBCherry good for you. Home ownership is overrated.
Reminds me of Tulip Mania back in the 1600's were the Dutch were paying insane prices just for a single flower bulb. Then someone finally realized why are we paying so much just for flowers? People started selling what they had in a panic after the realization and the market crashed in February of 1637 as everyone scrambled to cash in lol. I have a feeling the same thing will happen with this type of coral. People will grow split and sell to recoup the cost eventually the market will get saturated and the prices will crash.
I love your video quality. What camera and lenses do u use? Absolutely beautiful...crystal clear video. :)
great vid thank you for cluing me into the latest and greatest. i think mike Paletta recently wrote an article on our hobby and why it is so addictive.
I saw some single polyps for $999.99 or $699.00 for the less colorful. I'm going to stick with the SPS. Plus, my tank has developed an immunity to most mushroom species. The SPS grows intensely and the clams come and grow and get exchanged for smaller ones but mushrooms just shrivel up and die slowly.
My favorite corals are acans & mushrooms. I won’t lie, when I first saw bounce mushrooms I absolutely loved them
Looks pretty cool to me ;)
$6000 for a coral? Nope. I'll stick to my $10 Zoa's and be just fine.
Great video as usual.. I literally crown you the best at showing what out hobby looks like when we are looking in our tanks.. If I had a crown I would give it to you😁.. I think its a fad also, but one that isn't going anywhere as they aren't that common still years after the first WWC one came on the scene.. I have just recently got my correct (local to me) lineage tye dye mystery jawbreaker mushrooms into colony status and I'm keeping then all.. The fad $ is somewhat gone so I'll keep them as eye candy or a rainy day fund for the next fad I'm into.. Bounce just isn't one I see spending so much coin on.. They are cool though but I'll stick with the sticks..
+Daniel P Thanks! I like the new Discosoma that are popping up, like the jawbreaker, interstellar, and ecclectus color morphs.
I absolutely loooove them!! Can't afford them 😭😭 but they're beautiful none the less!!
Interesting Than. I wont be buying one but would like to know more about them. I enjoy learning about and watching the new fads in the hobby, after all if the rest of us wait long enough we all can benefit from the them.
+Gene Alameda (Geno's Reef) The hobby is super trendy and we've been in the chalice trend for so long I am actually glad to see something else come along.
Friends in Okinawa you say? I live in Taiwan and majored in biotech. I have been thinking of starting a reef system at the highschool I teach at. It seems like you have some really awesome connections in the hobby, would you happen to know anyone doing research in Taiwan?
I was diving off of Okinawa back 47 years ago. Great diving and if we took pictures it was a camera wrapped tightly in plastic
Great diving. My pictures of the dive disappeared in a move from Germany back to the Sates in 81 miss it
Thanks for all your videos sometime soon I plan on buying from you guys
Thanks
+Bob Escher I would like to dive there. I hear the diving is amazing for the corals and slightly life threatening for the divers.
Tidal Gardens Inc.
JAWBREAKER MUSHROOMS are my favorites. I have purchased 2 jawbreakers both melted. LOL. I will try again soon under T5 lighting.
that's so cool
I'm still stuck on rock flower anemones, love 'em!
it;s the Tulip mania all over again !
you got some!?! awesome
+Don Myers not yet, but soon I will have one.
Good hopefully everything else comes down in price. The Jerry scene was funny.
what coral do you think will be next in the overpriced designer market? I wanna get in now while they're cheap.
Pulsing Xenia they’ll inflate one petal of the polyp and call it pulsating bouncing castle Himlayan Xenia and they be going for $10,000 a polyp
Very cool!
Reefergil make an update
Awesome refffer 👍
Considering tank conditions-can you make a video about your LED lighting/color temperatures/intensities etc? Do you set your lights differently depending on the livestock in the tank?
I live in Queensland Australia and I know where these grow wild and a bright sky blue, I will try and get a photo this weekend.
Awesome
But that's crazy $$$.
Wow!
My friend got one of these for cheap at a coral show. The market sure does change
Fortunately, living creatures have the ability to reptoduct and quickly fill the market.
HYPE!!!!!
I have a Fukushima bounce it's awesome I recommend them
I've been trying to get my hands on some more of these, but unfortunately I'm in a typical situation where a good friend "knows a guy" and that guy just happens to have a system that's overrun with bounce mushrooms. Reminds me of the movie Blow where I want to cut out the middle man which happens to be my good friend and get them strait from the source. Only difference... we're just dealing with corals here which also happens to be highly addictive!
Do bounce mushrooms grow in the wild or just in tanks? I’ve never seen one scuba diving 🤔
Hi there, Been watching your videos for an hour now and I must say it's exactly what I've been looking for. I've had my 450 litre tank for just over a year now and i'm just starting to go deep into all them kinds of super cool corals. I am based in Moscow, Russia.
A few questions i hope you can answer:
1. I've had a couple of LPS corals that didn't survive long in my tank. A hammer euphyllia, and a trachyphyllia. The hammer I found was way too big (and expensive) for a first timer, i guess it never stood a chance. Should I try it one more time with a much smaller piece, so the expense is not that large in case it doesn't make it once more? Regarding the Trachy, i am not really a great fan, and since I am limited in free space in my tank i'd rather try some different LPS corals.
2. I have noticed you are feeding your corals, how important is that? I am feeding my tank 3 times a day with 3 cubes of frozen Artemia each time. I've noticed that some of my corals are eating on it as well.
3. Would you know how I can take pictures of my aquarium without the neon effect ruining the picture?
4. Would love to buy some corals from you, any chance you can ship to Moscow?
For now what I have in my tank are a couple of scolymia which are my favorites, a few zoa's, a couple of mushrooms and discosomas, and many soft corals.
5. I found scolymia to be tank friendly, what other LPS corals are as friendly as these beauties??
6. What is the best way to share my aquarium with the world?
Wishing a great week to everyone!
WHATT!!! thats crazy
Are there any corals similar to this for cheaper?
is it resistant to all pests and diseases in the tank?
how much for these what are they called
So are the bubbles not good?
I have a green one, the bubbles get huge and it s thrown out 5 babies so far in only a year. I paid $25 for it! I guess the lfs didn't know what they had! It's gorgeous and I get tons of complements on it. Gosh, maybe I need to sell the babies!
... Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Stunning just hope there is some kind of price drop so they are not so out of range for the average reefer.
+Deano's Reef It is very easy to propagate from what I hear so I would expect a lot of people doing so. Everything that people go crazy for eventually drops in price.
I'm about 8 years late to the video, I wonder how much has changed since then. I think these look a lot like bubble algae, I'm sure that's a lot cheaper and easier to grow 😂
that is amazing, both the coral itself and its value. Generally if something is hardy and easy to propogate/reproduce the price would not be so high. I have been out of the marine/reef hobby for over 6 years so i dont have the best idea of whats "in" or "out" at the moment but i would also assume that finding the right clientele to pay top dollar for one of these are few and far in between?
+Fusion Exotics It depends, some corals people go absolutely nuts for and sell themselves for as long as they are the object of desire. For all other expensive coral, it can be more challenging especially for a store that only caters to a single small location.
did you film this with the C100 camera? Jeez the quality is so good!
+Redbull357 Yes, this was with the C100.
Finally I’m getting mine tomorrow
I hope it does well for you!
Looks like it has skittlepox.LOL!!!!!!!!!! but very interesting.
I think i have to say i prefer macro algae over corals... i love the movement they have in the flow of a tank. There are corals i like however :)
Love all shrooms, expensive and cheap! Screw SPS, I'm all for the rhodactis craze...
Great information as usual...One bit of feedback that music with the standup base is very distracting it's alomost like you are competing with it.
I will contact Ilumina and attempt to identify customers already using their gear in Coralia genomic projects. Maybe we can crowd source a couple of hi seq runs. 🤔🤷♂️
Wonder if Than's aware that this can happen on some other corals as well?
I really enjoy rhodactis, Yuma, rics and discosomas... But I would never get a bounce. They do look like they've caught an infection. To each their own.
Mágico o mundo do aquário marinho
My LFS sold me a huge Persian carpet mushroom for $60 today.
I have a bunch in my tank. I had no clue they were worth that much. I’m ready to sell.
i personally enjoy rhodactis and have made more than a few dozen varieties from the three types i have. the colors are endless
are these found anywhere in the wild?
I have some yumas with huge bubbles on it....
I've seen these for a while now. I don't believe these to be a result of too much light but unique genetic traits that are brought out in our reef tanks.
They look like they're sick not for Me.
CORAL!!!!
Awesome video, not sure what the hype is they aren't very impressive.
They're golden nuggets of the sea!
so how much for one of them? Sorry if I'm the only one who doesn't know how much a payment for a million dollar house is :€
+Jorge Oswaldo Torres Iñiguez Small Frags are between $300-$1000. The most ever paid was $6000 - reefbuilders.com/2015/10/13/bounce-mushroom-sells-record-6000-single-polyp/
I bought 3 mushroom bounce for $15 each. But they are green. Same thing ? Or different?
OG bounce, yellow bubble
You left out where are these collected-do they look bouncy? Also,you didn't mention if cuttings in all the various aquariums do this? That pretty much would settle if it's natural. UNLESS,its a virus in the chloroplasts..as you would get with variegations in land plants..and that virus goes with every cutting.
I'm getting the feeling its viral.
I just bought one of there really really small for 300
lol I never bought into those trends, always stayed with acros, love then to death...soft corals do nothing for me
Looks like it got thrown in a boiler 😆😆😆
It costs about $30 here in Indonesia
I spent $200 on a small bounce mushroom frag, once it grew I sold some cuts of it, paid for all my hobbies expenses. The only risk is that the hobby moves on to a new coral in the spotlight and the value of the previous hype gets drastically low. You have to buy, grow and sell before that happens. Happy reefing guys
What’s the hype corral nowadays?
A lot of $$$ for that???? They look like they're sick with tumors or something. Highly overrated in my opinion. I'll take some nice acros or chalices over a shroom any day. :)
overrated af and fugly
I for one do not understand the Hype at all. They look like they have tumors--- "It's not a tumor!!". Bubble coral and these mushrooms give me the creeps, don't know why they just do. I always think they're going to pop or I'll accidentally knock a bubble off. They can keep 'em, I'll save my money for a sweet Montipora or Chalice.
wtf?! im always fighting with my reef tank trying to get this things out of my tank!!!
Wow...
Claudia Cervantes hahaha more like bubble algae hein ? 😂
My st.thomas mushrooms are ok but bounce are to much for me
We have three of these bad boys in our stores softy display
I like it. but if cost lots $$. I don't think so..
NO WAY ! it looks like its got hemorrhoids, why would you pay a gazillion bucks for something that needs a butt cream , LOL
weird, in Australia these are reasonably common.
After seeing a large one in person at a local shop, I understood why my friend spent that kind of money on one. If you like it, it's totally worth the money; otherwise, it's just another Rhodactis.
I'll take the smallest coral frag lol very sexy coral though
So... how much is a typical monthly house payment on a million dollar home...??
So you can't just move it around the reef until it's "happy"? Lol
Your tank shooting is amazing, can I use part of your videos for my new channel? I will mention your channel in it of course.
All coral at indonesia is really cheap, and so much varieties since we are an archipelago
Wanting to learn about a specific species of coral I completely understand and enjoy. Spending all that money on a Bounce Mushroom is ridiculous... Not only that they're UGLY...
Title states "most expensive" yet, never mentions how expensive?
Chris Pankuch monthly payment on 1 mil mortgage could be between 10k and 20k
600-2k for a small frag.
Anywhere as cheap as $200 and as expensive as $16,000. Just depends on the rarity
For 6k yes
Theyre really cool, but almost look uncomfortable. Maybe its just some weird feeling but they look like theyre in agony
That awkward moment when the most expensive coral looks like a type of invasive bubble algae that needs to be cleaned out as soon as possible.
They are cool looking but not for 6000$ thats insane.
i don't know about the hype, good excuse to make good money though ... how much is an arm and a leg? roughly how much money was made & over how long a period of a time did your friend make from this "house payment coral" ? what was his roi?
How much is the damn thing
Trav it states in the beginning that it could sell for over a million dollars. it is literally said in the first 15 seconds of the video, but I can understand how the way he phrased it can be confusing.
meganthesloth he said that it could be used for a payment one s million dollar house. Which made me think around 10k-20k...
Ricardo DLT the wording is more confusing than even I could understand then lol
My LFS sells these for $250
