I knew this would come up sometime this year.. great topic for discussion.

Originally, corals are either LE for their slow growth or for their wild harvesting. Of course, they have to be in spectacular colour and shape to be considered in this category.

People that aquire or move a lot of corals, would know which are more common and which aren't. Also, there are a number of people who come to shipment days to unpack these corals. These people usually get to know what comes in and can validate the LE stamp.

Now, as Greg mentioned, the LE stamp is lost over time as these corals are distributed. Its unfortunate, but it is the case.

I am fortunate to be in the hotspot of coral shipments in Canada, so I have a pretty good idea what comes in. I am also very careful when placing this LE tag on my corals, as I know people that abuse it.
