Prices are so high they are insane!
Ten bucks a head for relatively common zoanthids? I could go on and on but I am sure anyone that has been around awhile knows what I am talking about.
Anyone that has been around awhile also has a group of friends that can exchanges frags here and there and no one will be the wiser, cutting out the retail guys entirely.
I honestly believer the LFS and even the online guys are approaching the point of pricing themselves out of business. The sticker shock for those new to the hobby must certainly be reaching critical mass at this point but maybe I am wrong.
Are we creating a black market for coral? I say yes. Is it illegal to sell coral frags out of your house without a license? In most states yes. Do they have the man power to enforce these laws? NO. They dont even have the man power to stop scum bags from selling dangerous drugs from out of there house.
The industry has to find some way to figure this out.
