For Sale: SPS and more SPS from Toronto

[michika]

How often do you frag? I'm gearing up to order some SPS in the future, but I won't be ready for a month or so.

Just a question, not to discredit your coral, But how are your pieces designated LE?

I frag all the time now, since my colonies grow fairly quickly. I would say once a month.

LE is limited edition, in other words, rarely seen or distributed.

LE is designated either by the original coral grower, or the market. Its like a car that is in production in limited quantity. I personally know that certain corals are in limited quantity (being immersed in the reef culture in Toronto). Some are due to the fact that even big rare coral collectors don't have certain corals that I have.. such as the Grape Millepora. I hope that clears things up.

Again by no means am I saying you do not have a wonderful collection of rare corals. I do understand what LE means. I'm wondering how it was determined that those pieces above are LE. Is this something MAST has recognized?

Until MAST or MACNA start recognizing corals for their rarity or collectability, the LE stamp will usually be given by the orinigal founder of the coral, or those who know the rarity of the species in question.

The LE stamp stays with the coral as long as it is a slow grower, or distributed in limited quantity by a few fellow reefers.

This is a controversial topic that many stay away from.

Yes it would be a great topic for debate. But I should not have brought it up in your Farg sale thread. Sorry. I will start it's own thread at a later date
