Aussie stuff costs more for both the corals and the shipping. It's not always "greed" that drives the prices up. You have to remember your LFS is trying to run a buisness not a charity.
When you go to work in the morning do you expect to work for free or collect a check at the end of the month? What it comes down to is if you like it buy it. Who cares what someone else thinks is nice or rare. It's your tank you have to look at it every day. If it was me I would get it the price doesn't seem bad and they are a coral you don't see every day.

much as I hate how expensive this stuff is, I am glad that anything collected in the wild costs enough for people to really want it to buy it.
think how much more the impact would be on the ecosystem if we were not limited by $$$.... just a somewhat random thought.

Freight costs are freight costs. They are not shipping coral one at a time. I think that arguement is weak - just a distractionary manoeuvre (think carbon tax).

I'd buy a frag when/if you have one...I like them and appreciate that they are different! But, I couldn't afford a colony...
