yes, people do. Its very easy to fall into it anyway, I mean...you can have 5 individual sellers and 5 vendors selling 1 type of coral all at different prices, so really the newb/moderate doesn't know what is a 'bad price' especially since everyone I've asked says a bad price is one you are not willing to pay.
I buy what is pretty to me, and only pay the prices I see others paying. I shop around to get an idea of what is real and what is pure bs/adverts.
If you don't know you do not NEED special fuge mud that costs 50$ for a tiny tube you can get the equivalent from a) waiting the proper time for cycle b) find a local forum and buy lr/ls to seed your tank and hope it's good stuff
eh...there are name brand corals...
