I still have the yellow Leptastrea sp. 

Last time golden octopus carry many rare corals, but the shop closed.

5 Years ago, coral like golden torch is $25 per head, now bubbled to $80. Coral getting expensive and many species no more coming to Singapore.

In other country, our so call uncommon coral are common to them.

The higer prices could mean better quality or better sources.

Any places in SG where the coral prices are still reasonable (not too exp)? Trying to save money where possible as this is not a cheap hobby
