Someone aquires a pice and wishes to re-coup expenses. Or there is a very colorful morph of a certain type and because no one has ever seen it before it gets dubbed limited. It's also big business in the states. And lets face it there are plenty of people who have the money for these types of things in this hobby. As long as people pay to have a nice things in their tanks there will always be a market. There are many people who don't think before they open their bank book. They just do. If it is rare in the trade fine, many super colorful peices are, but nature doesn't make limited editions. There are plenty more thy are just not available. LE implies a know traceable complete history, which will never ever happen with coral.
