For avid SPS collectors the orgin of the coral is important to ensure you are getting what is advertised. If someone told me they wanted to sell me a superman monti the first thing I will natural ask is if it is the real tyree superman. IF they dont know or say it came in as a recent aquacultured then I will pass because I know that all superman look a likes are not as nice and do not hold colour like the orginal and real tyree superman.

So....if I can get an answer that these are not look a likes and can be traced back to oringal sources ie.ORA/Tyree I will be much more enclined to purchase.

Seriously? Give it a rest.... When does anyone know that the Coral they are buying is from the original Coral lineage that first came into North America years ago and then named by the hobbyist that was lucky enough to get the first one...?

Where does anyone find Corals that come with pedigree certificates or documents of DNA lineage? Proof is in the Coral and how it looks... A vendors track record speaks for itself, I am sure it would be obvious by now if OC was pawning off regular everyday aqua cultured Corals...

If you don't like the price or you are paranoid that it isn't the "real deal" then don't buy and leave more Corals available for those that already know they are getting amazing hard to find frags....
