Coral pricing

[Millepora_Maniac]

You guys remember when you could go to a fellow reefers house and get frags for ten to 20 bucks of really nice pieces?

I think i got most of my millies that way back in the day, open houses for frag swapping and buying. got some really impressive stuff back then. circa 2005

It's still happening today just not on as big of a scale. I have given away more coral in the year before I shut my old tank down than I did sell. However it was all to people that were friends or I had seen more than a handful of times.

What is gone are the days of people actually going to look at tanks. Seems since the social media thing took over, people would rather see a picture on instagram rather than driving across the city to look at a tank in person. If your not going to make face to face contact, how can you expect to actually start a friendship and give each other coral.

The hobby has become less of a community and more of a instagram follower, let's give likes, sort of a community.
