High Priced LPS

I'd be afraid of buying a wild colony for that much. You never know what'll happen.

Only a few stores in the country get the majority of these (thecaptivereef, darklordcoral, jendub, etc.) and they have to pay a lot for them.

what seesm odd is that these smaller online retailors are obtaining the more desirable species, when I'd expect them to turn up at the businesses that do major volume, like Dr. Fosters, reefermadness, or Dr. Mac. How are the newcomers obtaining the high-demand livestock instead of the big boys? Usually stores have to order 25 boxes a week in order to expect any decent pieces because priority goes to the customers that spend the most money. So how are these small newcomers cherry picking the high-demand imports.
