I <3 Corals!
Sufunk, you have got it all wrong. Steve decides to farm a particular coral and gets a list of people that want to aquire a frag from him. Because they have to wait for the coral to grow before they get a piece and its not just cut into several pieces for everyone to have all at once, the coral is considered 'limited'. He starts with a small piece of the colony to grow out and fufill his reserve list.
Obviously as more people aquire the coral and grow it out, it becomes less and less limited but when he initally lists a coral, it usually is limited in circulation thus the name limited edition.
Like anything else, you get what you pay for. You want nicer corals, you're going to have to pay for them. You can get plenty of basic corals for a very low price. Do you go to the BMW dealer and complain that they are ruining the auto industry because they're prices are higher than the ones at the Saturn dealer?
If any of you guys knew Steve, you'd know he's not in it for the money, he doesn't have a neck full of gold chains and he doesn't drive a Caddy, he's a very normal guy. To really get into the truth, its the guys that own the colony of the limited coral that profit from it. People make all these assumptions about him but havs anyone EVER seen him pump up his stuff? He runs his website and does no advertising.
Its funny how people have twisted Steves inital intentions with limited corals into a big money making scheme because that just couldn't be further from the truth. Look into it before you start to bash the man. He had actually done lots for the hobby and if you keep SPS, thank him as he is one of the first to have documented success keeping stony corals....................
