I was hoping to learn about the important roles of these particular corals in the ecosystem and their environmental importance (you could have phrased that better if the link actually was scientific and appeared to be based on actual research, but after reading it I understand it's really just an ad). The only likk was to a NOAA webpage but it gave no citation, only a link so I highly doubt whoever wrote it actually read it. What I'm trying to say is that this post is incredibly misleading. If you actually hold the strong belief that these particular corals fill a niche that can't be filled without them, then you shouldn't be selling them since you are selling wild collected specimens. It sounds the same as a hardcore environmentalist stating their views while owning a prospering oil company. Btw, these corals are now classified within genus Trachyphyllia. You're welcome.
