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?
