Caribbean Hard Corals !!!
AquaTouch is pleased to announce the availability of aquacultured hard corals from the Caribbean. There are no legally collected Atlantic hard corals in the aquarium trade. These corals are naturally settled larvae that are grown on aquaculture substrate and are typically 1 to 2 years old by the time they are sold. We are pleased to offer these unique species not found in the Indo-Pacific coral trade.
In time we hope to expand the variety of corals available. Please check back to this page in the future for updates and new specimens.
These corals are from the Atlantic so normally they are completely illegal to collect for the hobby and they both originated from Florida waters which makes them even more illegal to collect. However, since they managed to settle in off-shore mariculture facilities they are exempt from collection laws. Most likely the larvae of these particular corals was carried by a current to the mariculture facilities where they settled on some of the live rock being farmed.
