At that price I could buy a $70 red flowerpot from a chain store and cut it up into nine or ten $40 frags.

If the said it was ORA or SA or otherwise captive propagated then I could see it.

Are they not allowed to make their own "brand" of coral frags?

I think I am not communicating very well. They (and should) do all of the things you mentioned. They just are not getting the message across if that is what they are trying to do.
