How about a discussion sharing ways to maintain ongoing asexual coral divisions in a coral farming situation ?
I have been refining and discovering lots new ideas the few short years since starting our coral farm, I am sure there are plenty of other great ideas too. Its always been a problem for us on how to not only grow corals quick enough to make a profit but also how to get the best out of the brood colonies as well to maintain on going supplies pacing our sales.
The first one I will raise is our staghorn style growth forms. I found pruning them to gain a lot of height aids good water flow around the colony. I prune off the lateral axial polyps along the stem as they form and grow to about 2-3cm. In the picture you can see several short lateral Axial polyps forming in differing areas from the base upwards these are the ones that form our clones.
