This only perpetuates the Problem since potential buyers, seeing what may be a good deal on a "rare" coral (that you need a magnifying glass to see), buys it and then has to wait five years to be able to see it with the naked eye, and then feels that since it was so "rare" and took so long to grow that it is now worth 10 times the original piece.. and so goes it! it will likely never change since this is such a unique hobby. but we can all be encouraged to make responsible decisions.
