First let's adress the original point She started this I think, correct me if wrong that it was an ask why everyone wants to buy tiny frags and sell them... And is that ethical behavior?
My answer to this is (although I have only been this hobby less then a year now). I don't think it is unethical at all. Do I think its a huge rip off? Yes. Do I not understand at all why people buy those tiny pencil eraser sized frags? Yes I do, they want something really bad. Maybe the fancy name and they collect by name. Maybe just feel they can have a more diverse reef if they have ten frags instead of one. If there are people who buy tiny frags there will be people selling them.... Forever... That is capitalism baby!
Guess what people stop buying... And boom no more itty bitty frags.
I have met quite a few reefers and can't wait to meet more this fall and winter at swaps. I would gather that if not all... Almost all have no desire to put a 4 polyoped sps in their DT and cut off two to sell in a month... The behavior seems a bit dramatic.
Omg I am on my phone right now and I have some bits I wanna quote and respond too so you all will have to wait till I can get to my laptop later... Oh boy all I can say is I have a few things to say about humans and animals.. Until later....
