OR I can make an exception only if you sell me those unhealthy clowns for 25 bucks.. you do know those clowns need the same effort as any regular clownfish.. so why to sell them at $100 ++++ ... so whenever u want I will sell you my $5 dollar zoas and you give me the unhealthy $25 clowns... hahahahahaha

Wow this is perfect , cancervo just told me that corals are like pharmaceuticals, there is a name for the coral at a premium price and a generic for a simple co-pay! This is soooo true and we just have to be armed with common sense and a hunch that maybe that chainsaw cut frag is not worth the tag!

 

[jerl77]

wrong becuze people pay them that price i really dont want to get into the whole chalice thing they are a joke $300 for a eye people are nuts
:idea:

It isn't even a fun thing to have in your tank! Chalice look good but are not gratifying in the growth aspect

 

[KurtL]

Not that I'm defending constantly giving different names to the same corals, but isnt the same thing done with plants and fruit and vegetable varieties?

 

[duke62]

i stopped bi@#$ing about this a year ago.i wont buy a frag of aything over 40 bucks.i get my corals below 40 or i trade.it makes me feel better about myself knowing i can afford more corals then to worry about how much i have to save.at the swap i was giving 200 to spend from a christmas gift and i spent 20 dollars over my limit but i bought alot of dry goods raffle tickets and 4 nice pieces of corals and received a couple from the donation table.that will be all i spend for a month

 

[Ziggy]

this trend will never change. and most of this trend came from people taking fake picture's, and by fake i will use zoa's as the main example, ive been collecting zoa's for over 6 years, ive seen the same zoa's over the last 6 years, occasionally there is a new morph that pops up, but mainly it is just a new and better macro shot under different lighting, but watch everyone who posted on here selling a coral with a name. i can honestly say ive only seen a handful of corals that i would consider rare, but then again there are hundreds of importers so i truelly dont know how many have actually came it for it to be rare.

 

[jerl77]

wow i agree with you now this is rare lets sell it and be rich lol:grumpy:

in the beginning coral names were used to distinguish corals from one another and I love some of the old school named pieces but today people have taken it too far. I'm all for retailers making money on selling corals because quite honestly a lot of money is spent by them getting them from the ocean and into there selling tanks and to turn a profit isn't always guaranteed. It's the shisters who tag LE on a coral, give it a fancy name, take a macro pic under blue lights and charge ridiculous prices and than act like they're doing you a favor after ripping you off that irritates me
