Q: I want to sell my farmed corals to wholesalers, what price should I ask for and what is the markup from wholesaler to retail?
A: To sell your farmed corals to wholesalers you will need at least 10-20 frags so that they can place orders that will go out to several retailers. The markup along the line for the saltwater industry is about 100%, so if you have a coral that has a retail for $20, expect to sell it for $5-6 to wholesalers.
