We are getting off topic sorry to thread-jack Myka maybe we should start another topic elsewhere? Maybe not though, this topic could go up in flames.

As with any material goods, it's all supply and demand based.
So as soon as there are more frags out there than buyers, the price will come down.
Remember when Purple Death Palys were 40 bucks a polyp?
You see it all the time with corals...Rastas are a good recent example.
So you can pay now and have something virtually no one else does or you can wait a while, years maybe, and get it for cheaper when it's not so special anymore.
The evidence of this coral becoming more common is already in this thread.
There is no patent on nature...if anyone should be getting kick backs, it's the environment.
Tyree or whoever didn't make or invent these corals, they just found them and marketed them.
They deserve nothing other than the early premium they get, IMO.
Early buyers will benefit the most, I would bet the price for the first ever recorded frag of this was astronomical but so would be the frags coming from it downstream with diminishing returns from there.
