I have been seeing alot of the Tonga Maricultured corals the past few weeks. What are your thoughts on them ? Do you think they will live up to, or be as good as the Bali aquacultured acros?

it always annoys me how environmentally smart they try to sound, but all they do is go out and harvest big colonies of coral and break them up, mount them, and sell them a couple months later and call it aquaculture, thats barely maricultured, let alone aquacultured:evil:

I just watched a presentation done by Walt Smith at the WMC. They actually prop the maricultured frags from mother colonies grown from frags on big racks. A lot of the stuff coming from him are 3rd generation. I don't know what other exporters are doing, but I was happy to hear that Walt was not just chop shopping corals...
