Thanks for sharing that, pretty awesome stuff.

My question is, why cant they just grow the frags on the seafloor, attached to a rock? Will they become covered in sediment if they are too small?

I assume that reef had been killed by trolling/nets?

Colors look a lot like those in an ULNS...so much for the argument pastels aren't natural :)

Jack, Yeah that's part of the South Pacific series that showed on the Discovery channel, it's similar to the Planet Earth series but just deals with one area. And yes it's stunning to watch on HD on a TV :)

WOW!!!
What a fantastic idea!
Well 6 months out in the ocean with right nutrients and temp they will grow.
Some of us I'm sure see big growth in our tanks w/ the right nutrients and temp.
Whats interesting is that they mention over crowding and "harvesting."
We over crowd our tanks and harvest cuttings into frags.
There you go the hobby industry has taught something of value.

I think they got a big wake up call that if the reefs go then so does their entire way of life. Too bad around these parts we don't get the same thoughts and it takes an act of the government to prevent us from overfishing a particular food item.

They should start a program where you donate and you can watch your spot in the reef grow :spin3:

They should try to sell, say one out of fifty of those big heads. I'm sure one of those could sell for well over a thousand us dollars if split into frags. Profit like that would get more and more fishermen involved. The more fishermen involved, the more corals on the reef, and we'll get peace of mind when buying our next coral.
