Online vendor. Yes. Local it was more of a grey area. I asked but it was never "offered".

I won't get more specific, as its not my goal to slander. Just frustrated.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

If they only have a few rare corals, they probably didn't lose any money as the pack probably sells and they make more based on selling all 5 corals then just the one to you. If they don't sell the pack and the corals starting backlogging in their inventory, they will eventually sell them as individual frags or lose money.

Personally I like packs when I am starting a new tank as I get a bunch of corals for cheap (Cheaper). I hate packs when I have most of the corals I like and just need a few last pieces that no one wants to sell individually.
