My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
I personally like to grow out coral because I like learning about them. But I know at the swaps in my area, some vendors order in coral, then flip them. I have even heard rumors of vendors discarding unsold coral, because they wouldn’t survive the trip back. I guess it depends on how vendors regard the coral. Dollars, or animals?Right. That seems to be the typical fare for some of these offer recurring “live sales”.
Is that cool now? Or maybe some people don’t realize that’s what’s going on?
I think hobbyists assume the vendors are growing these coral and not just moving product. I know a lot of vendors like you do actually grow their own stock, and those are the ones I like to support.
