My trip to Indo...

Sometimes you have to move fast we've looking for specific corals. Other times you can slowly inspect everything.

What i can not still get over is the unbearable heat. It is not so much the heart but humidity. We stopped by a major fish exporter in bali and witnessed the first facility worth a chiller attached to their systems. My wife has video on her phone so when i extract that off of there i will post some videos of that. She has been the more social media person in charge than i have been. I just thought i should start a little thread here to bring everyone along from soup to nuts so that people have more insight as to how long and hard of a process it is to bring corals into the United States.

I have loved seeing the collection process. It is eye opening to me. The way they pack them to ship them and even unload them. Just different from what we ate used to.

thank you for sharing. can you expand a bit with detail of what you saw and experienced as it relates to this while on your trip?

As far as how thw corals are collected then brought into the holding systems. Then from the holding syatems to the packing to shipping. As how it relates to this i never imag8ned how quickly things move. One day something is there the next day by 8am it is gone, sold and shipped.

Any post-trip photos now that you've settled back in?

Yes. Just a disclaimer none of these corals I post are for sale here. I do not want to upset R2R admin again.

Is that yellow coral a maxi mini anemone?
