These people must be out of their minds unless they know something that I don't. BTW, I have a Acan lord frag that is 8 polyps for $750, you could get it local and save on shipping!

I seriously doubt they know something we don't

. I mostly think it is a bunch of folks cashing in on something that is simply in hot demand. The funny thing is, most of these corals arent even rare, lol. All are easily accessible and present little or no real difficulty. You are paying for hype only, IMHO. I remember when these silly Acanthastrea were practically garbage corals--they came in, looked kind of cool, under $40, and you either got one or you didnt. Now people are snatching things because of the expensive price tag. I have NEVER payed more than $40 for any coral. Most of mine started as "throwaways."

I can't believe anyone is still paying those prices.

I hate that site. You can never read the text against the background.

They say "A fool and his money are soon parted". Thing is, I can't figure out how the fool got so much money to begin with?!

These people need to start giving me some money if they are just going to throw it away.

Well acans have been going for around $10 per polyp for a while and these people are still trying to get the $100 that was the norm a year ago. It just doesn't seem right.
