"Strats" Is there a Difference?

[Coralmanic1030]

Hey guys, not new to reefing 18+ years but newer to the land of zoas (was always a shroom head). My question is, Is there a difference between the all the "strats" seen on ebay for around 100-150pp different from the OG old school melt if you look at it wrong still $785 on tidal gardens Stratospheres? They were still upwards of 800pp a few years ago. Did it just suddenly become so saturated that the price dropped so much? Or are they a different, but similar strain that has produced better? Does it even really matter? Are there even truly rare corals anymore? I wanted the Pros to weigh in on the question. Thanks guys and gals!

Yea there are strats that are under 200 that have been farmed by owners, thee have better survival rates as well.

Yes there are truly rare corals, and one of a kind ones, but that’s outside of zoas.

Ok so inside the world of Zoas if the strat was the holy grail, are there any more that are comparable to that status?
