Aquaculture Progression:
Level 5 (100%)
All wild mother colonies were fragmented from
the outer rim of the coral. The rock underneath
was cut in such a way where it is possible for us
to know exactly where they were cut. All new
cuttings are taken from regrowth of the outer
rim of the coral to ensure that only aquacultured
tissue is used to seed our new batches.
