I'm sorry, but this seems absurd: https://worldwidecorals.com/xl-wwc-pink-cadillac-acropora-36125.html
And it's just one example. These are frags that should be selling for like 50 bucks. I don't mean to just pick on one company, but I think it's fair to point this out as an example. People need to quit paying these ridiculous prices for tiny frags. These corals aren't that rare. If we stop buying them at such inflated prices, the price will come down. Sorry, but I've seen prices creeping up for years and now I go online to look for a few small frags to fill my new tank and I find $700 1" sticks everywhere?? And they're not even looking good in the pics. What gives?

He's selling large frags of actual rare, old school, beautiful stuff for very fair prices. You could literally get a whole frag pack of like 10 different pieces with free shipping for the same price you would pay for that one frag above. And his stuff is a lot nicer and rarer.
