Have never bought a colony. Most of my SPS started as 2 inch or less (most less) frags. I guess it is pride with me, too. I like to see them grow and change.

My reasons are:
I like to buy SPS and LPS frags because the price is lower (I'm not into the $250 LPS colonies these days, but I like pricey stuff haha), I prefer SPS frags because the colonies tend to grow out funny and seem to take longer to settle in and start growing. I prefer LPS colonies because they mostly grow fairly slow, but due to pricing and also lack of space in my tank I tend to buy frags instead.

I picked "frags because I'm cheap". But the reality is that I choose fras for many reasons:
- I AM cheap! - I like to watch them grow - If they are new corals, I'm unsure how they do in my tank, especially SPS. I don't want to risk killing a whole colony. Killing a frag makes me feel less guilty for being a bad reefer.... How's that for a long-winded answer?
