[ToManyFrags]

I been seeing alot of people here post up rare sps that are no way rare,
do any of you even know what rare sps are ?...
Short cake were rare at one time but now are common.
Rare is a frag that only a few people have like the skittles stag and joes Rainbow acro , red wine acro, not a peal berry or blue milli.
Rare is a sps that hard to get and only one person has the colony of and only 6 people have frags of this in the hole world thats rare like rommels ultimate collections that is very rare .......

would a (purple monster) be considered as rare?? I know only a few have them and for a frag it will cost u pretty penny ...

sort of insulting post!
Especially since the names are made up by importers/wholesalers/dealers...there is no way that YOU would know and be able to prove, that there is only one person in the "hole" world with a colony...
if you think that YOU have a collection of 'rare' sps, you may be in for a huge shock!

What's "rear" to you might not be to someone else and vice versa. But who really cares once it's sexy lookin'?

The point of this thread is that he sells corals, so he wants to make sure everyone knows what he's selling is "really" rare.

Bottom line, just stick a name on something and people think it's worth a lot, when in reality it's not.

I love these threads cause people love to use the word rare And jack up the prices on innocent reefers who don't know any better !! Some people are so Greedy that they give corals names that don't even exist and literally mug others as if this hobby wasn't expensive enough !!! And a good way to spot these shady people is that they will send you a pic with a bogus excuse as to why they couldn't post it so nobody can call em out on it!!!

Trust me ... If it sounds like a creature from a sci - fi movie , it's alll bull ,, grab your wallet and run!!

The most dangerous consumer is a smart consumer , purchase wisely and think twice when you feel like you should think twice!!!

[al0ha]

the only way to really tell if something is rare it to be able to look at the genetic makup of the coral itself, there are many corals that are "rare" bc the color morph is different from the rest, but color can be manipulated by light, water quality and nutrient contents... so what you may think is rare is just a faded out piece of what everyone else has.. yes there are some rare pieces but in the hobby we will be lucky to find thruely rare stuff.. but you know what i personally think, if you like it buy it.. whats too expensive for some may not be for others.

some people are chalas(sorry for butchering that) freaks, and will pay 250$ per eye on a rare color morph, hey more power to you.. i love things that i get in that i havent seen before and im sure my customers do too..
