Captive Bred or Wild Caught?
 
When it comes to purchasing livestock for your tank do you prefer captive bred or wild caught species?

Personally I prefer to purchase captive bred species over wild caught because of the lower mortality rates, reduced chances of introducing diseases and parasites, reduced impact on wild resources, and the fact the the specimen is already accustomed to life in an aquarium.

I really don't put much thought behind it. I dont think people will stop collecting wild corals anytime soon, so the best thing you can hope for is that the person that buys the coral will provide it with the care it needs. the same goes with fish. I pesonally like frags but I woulden't not buy a coral because it was wild caught.
