You no something i always walk into stores and there always putting these high price tags on frags ans what not, also selling mini colony's how can you tell the difference? can you actually believe the store is there a way to tell if its from where they say it is? is it okay if i ask to see the stock list? or am i just nuts and im the only one who thinks this.


SPS for example:: you'll have a Red/Rose mili frag for about $25-40 bucks now they say its from a aussie shipment and they get to put this high price tag on it. Dont get me wrong it is beautiful but how do i really Know if its from there?

I no Bali shipments come as marri cultured small mini colony's and they have a clear tag sticking out of them that's how you can tell its from bali and there cheap like 20-30$ for a nice size colony and there really beautiful. but then i walked into this other store and i see its from a bali shipment and its the same coral that i get for 20-30$ and they bang it up to 90$ for this mini colony that i get all the time for 20-30$ i just cant stand it sometimes..

Now what if someone gets a bali shipment and then frags this beautiful coral and then trys to label it as a aussie shipment and put a big price tag on it? is that right or just plain out wrong? sometimes i just dont no about these vendors or people in the LFS i mean don't get me wrong not downsizing people but come on i no there is over head and pople need to make money but its just crazy sometimes.

MayBe im just going Crazy.

Here some examples of what im talking about this is a BALI Shipment at a Fish store i go to. grabbed these up a few weeks ago.

Here is a nice Pink mili my girlfriend bought a while ago.

Just depends on the store. Some mark them up way high and others dont. You just have to trust or dont trust the store if they say a coral / fish / etc is from a certain area
