Seems like people purposefully keep corals rare so that they can profit off of others expense. Remember when regular acan lords were $50 per polyp minimum, and more like $100? Then people started realizing they are not so rare and they grow really fast and they are very hardy animals...then someone started selling them for $40 per polyp...then someone started selling them for $25 perpolyp...now the common ones are nearing $3-5 per polyp...seems to have made everyone happier except the retailers who cannot make a killing on a coral that cost them next-to-nothing.
