Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Agreed with Bro Solo on the value of each coral.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder.. one man's meat is another man's poison..

If you started out this hobby 10 years back.. The price for a super red is max $50 and over time cost of business went up and availability of good species came down.

So there is no fixed market price in this hobby. B)

Then it must be 'one man's poison' to me liao. Personally, l mean only myself, l never like prata...to me, just look unnatural in a reef tank. In documentary or photographs of natural reef, don't remember seeing a prata before.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

Maybe prata, though is nice, but in a mix of colourful corals, it may not have chance to stand out. Further, fishes like clown fish are more lifely and interesting to watch than a prata that doesn't move.
