For me it is easier to post a link to website vs. posting a bunch of photos.....

For the most part I think the majority of the sponsors on this forum have no issues with selling of coral frags, it's only a few that are ruining it for the rest of us.... (this can also be said for the few people who are just chopping corals for profits)

Thanks,

Dave, as long as it's not a commercial site, and just pics, we're ok with that.
Yes, the majority should be fine. Some less so, but frag sales by hobbyists should not impact their businesses significantly and will generate extra sales in other items from those selling frags. Salt, lights, food, etc. The benefit the hobby sees by trading and selling locally grown frags, vs. ocean captured if far more important. And regardless of who sells frags, I will continue to deal with the commercial sellers that I have in the past. i'm sure most that have, will continue to do so.

I like to thank canreef and it's staff for allowing us hobbyists to trade and sell home grown frags freely. It will not only generate more interests on the forum but further along this hobby for all of us. Great work guys!

Pretty much on the nose, Rich.

Dan, that's an option we could look at in the future.
