So, if one were to come in with a rare acanthastrea (one that many people will spend $$$ for) and wanted to sell to you cheap, but had acquired it for free somehow, you would not buy it? That doesn't seem to make much sense. I understand why one would not want to buy a hitchhiker. Who knows how much one would be able to sell these for/what kind of market there would be for these? Without more knowledge of what you have here, it is best to bet that it is at most of very little value. But, the principle to base your purchases off of whether the supplier paid good money for the specimen seems jaded and doesn't make good business sense IMO.
