i don't really think tyree has anythign to do with the huge jump in the overall price of every coral that has come to market in the past 5 or so years. What did? the acan craze, and GAS PRICES of course. As soon as the war started, prices on liverock and corals jumped a good 30% from what i saw and that's only natural, the cost of bringing them here went up, a lot. Once people became obsessed with acanthastrea ( i think the main reason being it was *OH MY GOD* something they couldn't have) all of a sudden every brain, blasto, favia, scoly, - basically anything that could have been passed off as an acanthastrea, instantly became taxonomically reclassified at a charge of an extra 50% above normal retail value, and afterwards, they cleverly didn't drop them very much. I think it's easy to forget that before the acan craze you could buy a blasto for 50 dollars, a red scolymia for 70, a favites for 39.99. This was far different than what tyree and those like him do, tyree did not intentionally try to trick his customers to make a quick buck. He might use 20k and a reaaaallllly good camera, but at least he gets the species right
