IMO, nowadays corals shipment are getting lesser, boring same old same old and expensive. Do anyone know any shops or farm have nice ones with not ridicalous price? Prata selling for $120.....mad :nuke::angry:

Went to Hong Kong, the selections are wide and price are reasonable.

What are your opinions???

I would not complaint abt the price if "last time" a coral eg prate cost $20 now $30-40. If the price jumps all the way to $120-300....if some of us are rich enough then you wont complaint then.

BTW bus price fare hike is nothing compare to corals price hike.... Also those who can affort to keep corals should not be complaining abt bus fare hike.

Oh rain rain go away plse bring back all the nice corals again :peace::rolleyes::look:

I think it has got something to do with supply side also... I mean... how much longer can we take advantage of the Indonesian waters... extracting all their natural beauties and let them barely survive (and most of the time perish) in our tiny little fish tanks? The more develop Indonesia is to be, the more expensive corals will become... and let's hope that the Indo government will not get so rich they ban exporting all together :erm:
