Maybe, its just me, but i think its REALLY shady to spend time on here talking up a coral and its price when people don't know that you also sell those corals.
How would a retail customer know what a retailer is paying for a particular piece? You keep insinuating that retailers are driving the price up, but that fact is, most retailers are taking the same percentage markup on the acanthastrea that they are on other corals. It is at the supply level, where the prices are being gouged, FYI retailers can't find a grade A acan colony from australia for less than anywhere near $150.. Especially on the East coast..
