200 for a green plated coral. What is going on. Is it me or is that just ridiculous. I love to shop local and I love to give my hard earned money to support local business but when it's so out of whack one has to take a step back and think why?! I guess someone will pay for it but not me.

This post isn't out to crucify anyone or any place. I understand business needs to make money. I don't mind paying premium for ultra grade corals but knowing how much it should cost in my opinion $30 and with the Canadian dollar dropping possible $50 is perfectly fine, but when the price is excessively high I really wonder why and who is putting the number behind the price? Maybe I am being unreasonable and if I am please some one let me know.
I hang out at the fish store as much as the next reef junkie. I don't get why they will price them so high and watch the coral deteriorate until it's bleached and not worth anything than having an employee try to sell it to you at the price which they should've put it the first place. This happens countless times. It's really a shame.
