Why are they so expensive exactly? They are nice, but I don't understand the expense. I'm a newbie so forgive the ignorance.

Everything has a cost. When the species is rare and people really wants it, the seller can ask more for it. That's how it is for cars, arts, everything.

I would not pay that much for that coral but I can understand why some would do. I use to collect rare freshwater moss and paid the big $ to get some species. Some were freaking awesome, some were just like any other. My wife got mad at me when I told here how much I was paying to get a gram of those plants from singapour. She also got really mad at me when I told here that 80% of those moss were cut at custom.
All that for a moss collection in peanut butter jars by the window.
