Opinions on high end corals?

For example, nobody wonders why the costs of corals from tidal gardens are what they are. The facility is clearly expensive and should be supported. He also charges moderated prices though.

This is the answer!!!

It could certainly be both of those things or it could also be money down the drain. Depends on the individual reefer

What's your opinion on high end corals. Are they worth buying? Would they make you enough money per year to just buy few pieces of equipment and small things. Or is it just a look what i got thing.

I spent the first 14 years in the hobby with low end corals and have been happy. I have had to frag corals because of growth and space issues and welcome the extra reef money. With that being said, I recently started a nano tank with some higher end frags that I want because of the crazy cool colors and shapes. I am not buying frags with the intention of selling them, but because I want my new tank to look good to me. I do think that many frags are overpriced, much too small, and some people are taking advantage of all the hype and crazy coral names.
