Aquaculture Progression:
Level 4 (75%-100%)
All of these corals were either born here
or raised from sizes smaller than 1cm.
Broodstock History:
Corals Aquired: May 2008
We repoduce our plate corals by propagation
and asexual reproduction in the form of
anthocauli. In the latter case the polyps simply
drop off the base when mature and new babies
grow back from the base.
