I was just reading in another forum. The discussion was between importers and wholsalers. Basicly talking about what Jobbers/cherry pickers do to the supply and to the LFS and end user ....
Anyhow something I had never thought of was posted, if true it makes me feel better about the impact of our hobby on the wild.
"Thats because 99% of all corals are brown! Take a look at Jen Veron "Corals of the world" Three part book , even most of the acros in that book are un sellable in a retail store because they are brown! Thats why its silly to think coral collection can harm the reefs. While we might remove the brite colored corals ......ninty nine percent are never even given a second look."
What do you think?
