Help Save Nature Through Coral Fragging and Propagation and Make a Business In the Process

Coral are marine organisms in class of Anthozoa that is typically living in compact colonies of identical polyps. They secrete calcium carbonate, which is a common substance found in rocks, to form a hard skeleton. In the previous post, we have learned the benefits of coral fragging. Today, we will also its importance.

Propagation is a form of reproduction achieved by dividing the coral into several fragments.

Coral propagation is important because it is a good way in preservation of Wild Life. Cutting the coral into fragments is a way to promote growth for a new colony. It is very important to the sustainability of with the saltwater reef aquarium hobby.

Propagated coral is both useful and beneficial to aquarists because it will serve as a habitat for their fish and it can also be a great way for them to make extra money.

Some hobbyist made a small business for this species. Some of them put a particular type of coral to be sold at Ebay which is a place to buy online, a place to sell, and a place to shop.

It is also necessary to propagate corals because it is more suited to one’s aquarium than the wild collected ones. One advantage of having propagated corals in the aquarium is because it has lesser chance of having parasites and diseases. Pests like acropora eating flat worms, red flat worms, sundial snails, aiptasia anemone, asterina starfish, fireworms, gorilla club and many more are usually found in the wild collected corals and you don’t want to have those in your own aquarium.

It is also important to propagate corals if you do not want to go to the ocean just to pick one up and return it home which will cost you lots of money and effort. This is also beneficial because sometimes if other hobbyist sees your propagated corals, they may want to trade it for something you don’t have.

Coral propagation is the best way to protect corals and also reproduce them. But it is up to the person if they want to do it, if they unsuccessfully done it then it will only be a waste of both time and effort, but if he succeeds, it is definitely a rewarding experience.

In fragging coral reefs, there are things that you need to consider before deciding to propagate it corals. Listed below is the discussion on how to select the right color to reproduce it.

1. Select only mature and healthy corals to be propagated.

2. By lessening the propagation of corals to one, it will lessen the risk of your coral from cross-contaminating other corals through mucus production.

3. If ever you have more aquariums, the system or the water conditions of your newly propagated corals must be the same as the parent’s colony because, it will lessen stress and improves chances of recovery of your coral.
