We’ve written many articles in the past on Bounce Mushrooms and all the craziness surrounding them in the last few years. However, based on what was seen at ReefAPalooza New York 2016, it is very clear that Bounce Mushrooms are still the king of current coral vending.
In fact, as the trend keeps growing, Bounce Shrooms have become a symbol, instead of a product. The trend has been putting coral vendors into a frenzy searching for new crazy colored bounces like these from White Rabbit Corals and the Reef Shoppe.
It seems having a bounce mushroom has become the standard for a good reef aquarium show tank. Coral vendors are clearly using bounce mushrooms to leverage a degree of status rather than to actually make money at these shows. When I truly asked, most vendors with these prized mushrooms had to think for a more than a few moments before coming up with an outrageous price or admitting they weren’t for sale.
When a coral vendor gives an unreasonable price for a Bounce Shroom it really means they want to keep it, so it appeared that the amount of bounce mushrooms actually willing to be sold was, very different than the amount displayed at ReefAPalooza. Now don’t get me wrong, Bounce mushrooms are still being sold. Unique Corals presented this extremely bubbly golden bounce at the show which apparently sold for upwards ofsix thousand dollars.
我认为我们不会将注意力集中在另一组珊瑚上,直到我们能够理解如何进行弹跳为止。他们在过去的几年中神秘地出现了,如果没有真正了解自己的创造或发展,他们保证了昂贵的价格标签。我们越早就可以按需提高它们,我们就越早开始增长,降低价格并注意有关实时珊瑚的下一个大事。
