In the last 5-10 years there has been a paradigm shift with the approach to this hobby. Some hobbiest see it solely as a profitable venture, rather than for the advancement of aquatic knowledge.

I am glad, that the reporter mentioned that the corals were "raised in a synthetic environment" Its important to make the distinction.
