Wes, I can actually say that is not the truth in all cases, have you seen a full fire engine Ricordia in a LFS lately? That's because they are rare.

A few things that set the prices in our business are the rarity, size, and color. We just can't overprice brown mushrooms can we?

Why do you think your goldflake angel is so costly? or a crosshatch trigger? but not a niger or picasso trigger? I used to think the prices were crazy until I had to bring livestock into Canada.

+1, all soft corals can be brought into Canada without CITES, as long as they are not connected to rock, but be warned even with frag plugs CBS may still stop the importation of such corals.

I agree completely, I just have to wonder that if a coral sits in a store for 3+ months that maybe there is a reason why it hasn't sold yet. So rather than have it become overgrown with hair algae wouldn't it make sense to drop the price a bit so that the inventory moves.
