Yes you read the correctly WWC did sell the old farm. Read below then check out this video for all of the the juicy details.
ORLANDO, Fla. –than 5 miles from the front gates of SeaWorld Orlando sits a new state-of-the-art coral farming facility with a huge mission of saving Florida’s beautiful coral reefs.
The Florida Coral Rescue Center is the largest facility of its kind in the U.S. that provides a safe, stable environment for coral colonies to receive world-class care and reproduce with the help of a team of coral experts.
Coordinated by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, the facility has been made possible through the collaboration of several groups, including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), NOAA Fisheries, Disney Conservation Fund, Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida, SeaWorld & World Wide Corals.

Thank you so much! We love all of our corals and we must do all to save them!

Without a doubt... However, there are laws that prevent us from keeping these Florida beauties unless licensed. Hopefully someday!

The sooner the better for the corals... :). I have always wanted an Acropora palmata colony or one of the ones pictured. Those are amazing. Do you know what those are?
