Coral pricing is the wildest corner of the reef market: the same genus covers everything from a single-polyp frag of a common color morph to a named designer strain or a full show colony. That's why our coral rows are grouped at genus level — a "torch coral" row includes every named torch strain the vendors list — and why low-to-high ranges here can be very wide without anything being mispriced.
Use the median as your anchor for an ordinary frag of that type, and read the low as the realistic entry price. When comparing against a vendor listing, check what's actually being sold: frag size, number of heads or polyps, WYSIWYG photo versus a representative stock photo, and strain name all move the price. A high number well above the median usually reflects those premium factors, not a ripoff.
