I can assure you the this hobby doesn't help the natural reefs in anyway, to say otherwise is simply a way of absolving yourself. If you disagree show me anything that suggests otherwise, and no research facilities are not part of the hobby.

Ohhhhhh!, okay I get it now.
If the reefs are only somewhat damaged or harmed........ it's not quite as much of an issue?
Also, I never said that this hobby helps reefs in any way. I said "Some might even argue". There is a difference.
Calling it "dead coral" is so harsh. Would you like to buy a bucket of my rare white environmentaly freindly recycled coral?
