Well, just like many other things in life there are fads that come and go. When I was first starting the hobby everyone wanted RBTA's and paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars for them. Then there were the SPS like Efflos and Torts that everyone wanted and paid hundred and hundreds of dollars for. Now its these Ancastreas. Now, I'm not saying that I don't want a piece of each of those, but I do think that prices will go down eventually once people start fragging them and having more success with them, etc.
There's actually a very funny article in this months Reef Keeping Magazine by Anthony Calfo about fads in aquaria.
