Gonna take this a step further... There are a LOT of similar looking corals out there. Oftentimes taxonomically speaking, quite possibly the SAME coral, but possibly collected from a similar area, but just happens to have extraordinary color. With that said, unless you can PROVE DIRECT LINEAGE to the original piece and supplier, you may be overpaying. Difficult if not impossible to do, but we all want the newest, shiniest gizmo or coral and tend to pay the assumed premium. But.... If you like it, want it, can afford it, buy it.
