Do people still trade corals in this hobby?

[markwayts]

We're continuing our discussion of peer to peer, reefer to reefer, buying, selling and trading discussion this week with today's focus on TRADING CORALS! Trading corals used to be pretty big in the hobby, back in the earlier days. Maybe it was because there hadn't been an influx on online coral retailers like there is today and many corals were not readily available? Or maybe there is a lot of trading going on that I don't know about! Let's discuss it!

Have you ever traded corals or livestock with anyone and if so when is the last time you've traded?

I'm sure people trade but I give away all i can. Don't really have much of a choice. Give em away or throw em away.

I’m pretty happy to trade or give away — in fact I gave away a great finger leather tonight. I believe in “paying forward”. So many folks have helped me along this journey with advice and time. Paying to forward helps repay my karmic debt.

Trade with my LFS - tend to frag and build credit up to buy better pieces. Latest addition is an Oxypora which is great
