Thanks for this. I tend to agree and have bought MANY a frag in my day. Expensive colonies turn out to be expensive frags, but as you say they grow which can be satisfying and more cost effective.

Something some if the real rare collector want as well. To know they are only one that go a particular piece, specially a really unique one. And absolutely, accurate pics would be provided with dimensions/poly counts as well if requested.

Rare is a word I "rarely" use in this hobby to describe corals. That being said, some of the species I noted above are truely rare. Micros are more rare than acans.........at least that is what people lead you to believe, but much of that info comes from divers. Some of the other species are also know to be very rare.
