"Rare" in this hobby usually is just a selling term. The only truly "rare" items are ones that:
1. Are hard to get on this side of the planet due to them only being located in a place that's not handing out cites permits.
2. Someone has done some clever marketing causing the demand to skyrocket.
Favia is a good example. On some sites a palm sized colony is $15 whereas on other sites it's RARE LE watermellon Favia! $120 for a quarter sized piece. It's the same coral.
Zoas go in and out as far as being the "hot" coral of the month. Usually what's rare won't be by the time you get it to grow out. Usually speaking any "hot" coral won't be "in" by the time it's grown out. Acans were big but now only the Aussie ones are. Duncans were big but now they're pretty cheap and available, same with Dendros. Micros were also big for a minute but are coming down. Blastos were crazy a while back and now they're pretty cheap. etc.

House of fish had these recently (bright orange inside, green skirt, right?)
I got a frag at a VERY reasonable price, and they're doing great in my tank.

Since I am a big fan of zoas and palys... I have seen these around.. the colony alone goes for 30- 40 depending on the deal you make... the frags alone depends on how much you want to charge for the number of polyps...ex 10 - 15 polyps I would say $10 giving this to be $1 a polyp...if I am wrong than someone can correct me...
Also depends on where you plan on selling them...

Thanks! I have some of these but I can't take credit for the photo. SuperFishy over at zoaid.com took it. My PowerShot A75 can't do 'em justice.

subaru,
i got both the dragon's eyes and the radioactive dragons from house of fish at the spring frag swap - maybe they were $15 or $20 per frag with maybe 10-20 heads? you should contact Jim or Russ and ask if they still have them. I think that's about what i paid and about the size.

I have a bunch of these but I didn't pay for anything for them. Most of the corals in my tank were purchased via my karma checking account.
