    So I always tell people that they should buy captive breed organisms. Its better for natural reefs. But the price difference is such a killer.
    Well yesterday I was faced with this problem. LFS had two of these "clubbed frogspawn" both the same from the number of heads to the color. The only difference was the fact that one was wild caught and the other was captive breed. It was from $40 to $60 a difference of the 1/3 of the price...after 15 min or so I bought the captive breed. at least i am not a hypocrite;D

    Good for you. May the good decision bring rewards back to you. Certainly reefs appreciate it, in a salty/non-anthromorphic way.

    thanx, i feel good about it, who needs to donate money to starving kids in africa when you buy captive bred corals and feel just as good;D
