Yeah they are pricey but nice.
Aquaculture pieces have benefits over "wild" corals
that drive the price up.
Normally the stock used in aquaculture is the best selected
for it's health (disease free) and traits such as color, size.
You don't get that choice all the time in the wild.

i have read mixed reviews on dipping corals some say it is good others say to shy away from it, because it actually harms the coral in the long run, what do you think?
