i'm not only catering to the inexperienced. besides i would highly doubt any inexperienced hobbyist would consider $25/polyp anyway.
every coral has its risk, experienced or not. when i got these PPE they had clove polyps all around as well, and i took the risk of the cloves taking over the palys and my whole tank. when i buy live rock, i'm taking a risk that there may be mantis shrimp, gorilla crabs or any other unwanted pests. when i buy a fish, i'm taking a risk that it may be diseased or that it won't eat. your tank may be compromised without your knowledge, and it could crack or break at any moment, that is a risk. if you're not for taking the risk to get something you want, you should not be in this hobby.
face it, this hobby is an expensive one. most of the rarer frags are going to be $25+ per polyp, and PPE are ones i don't see very often on boards and in stores, hence the expensive price. if no one buys it i'm totally fine with that. i'll enjoy having it in my tank. i'm not trying to get rid of it because there's something wrong with it.
i don't see why you're taking this so personally. if you're not gonna say something productive, don't say it.
