I am kinda shocked too there is a market for “high end coral”. Also, what store keeps almost $20,000 in cash somewhere accessible when they are closed? That or this coral is worth a pretty penny since their combined take was $20,000+ [http://buffalo.craigslist.org/search/?areaID=40&subAreaID=&query=coral&catAbb=sss](http://buffalo.craigslist.org/search/?areaID=40&subAreaID=&query=coral&catAbb=sss) ---

Coral is very expensive though. It is highly illegal to dive and take coral from the sea floor. Not sure how they get their hands on it and turn around to sell it… but its a pricey. ---
