Conditioned Culturing

 

As a purveyor of delicate aquatic organisms we believe that our animal's health and vitality are at the forefront of what we do. The process to peak coral health, color, and vitality is a long one and we want to share that with you. We are firm believers in the documentation of this process and the transparency it provides our clients. 

Each coral we sell is labeled to document where they are in the process. We all want transparency in what we are buying. 

Find confidence and security in our process

Wild corals are always Quarantined for a minimum of 4 weeks. Quarantine process means we weekly dip, inspect thoroughly, and treat if needed in a completely separate system. Corals that do not meet our standards of health are left in Quarantine for an additional 4-8 weeks. Our Quarantine system is fish-less.

Quarantined corals will have one of the following labels when they are presented for sale.
