CORALS 101.com - A New Information Website for Beginning Reefkeepers.
February 19, 2008. We just put up a new FREE information website on Corals. Its called Corals101.com . Its specifically designed for beginners and written in simple language. Noel Curry, our Director of Propagation, has spent a lot of time writing down what he has learned in the past 17 years about keeping corals.Its covers it all, from Acclimation to Zooxanthellae. Check it out here!  Let us know what you think.

We have the largest selection of Aquacultured Corals available in the US.  We sell ONLY Live, Captive-Bred Corals, Direct to the Public and Wholesale . We do not sell wildcaught corals, (except for gorgonians). All of our corals are grown right here in the US at our coral farm or by affiliated coral propagaters in the Indo-Pacific. We offer very colorful, tank-safe, and often rare, corals that grow quickly and acclimate well to your tank conditions, rather than large expensive wildcaught colonies that may not acclimate well to your tank. We believe this is the best way to build a lasting beautiful reef in your home or office without depleting the wild ocean reefs.

Word of Mouth is the best advertising! Read what some of our customers have said about us: "My son and I have been doing business with Scientific Coral since 1998. In all these years we have never been dissatisfied with the way we have been dealt with. Our orders have always arrived when they were supposed to and the corals always exceeded our expectations. We recommend this business to anyone who is in the market to buy corals. It is a pleasure ordering corals from them. " " A very satisified customer. ">>>   READ MORE >>>>>>.

US Fish & Wildlife Service reports the Mortality Rates of Wildcaught corals: "Despite improved aquarium technology and handling practices, an estimated 90 percent of some of the most popular coral species collected from reefs die before or soon after they reach the aquarium owner. Consumers who buy corals, live rock, and marine fish are encouraged to ask stores for information about where these products came from and how they were collected. Hobbyists can avoid buying fish or coral that die quickly by finding out more about the difficulty of keeping particular species. They can also consider buying synthetic corals or captive-reared specimens from facilities using environmentally sustainable aquaculture techniques." From http://news.fws.gov/coral.html

We are a True Coral Farm, not a Frag Factory! (Whats the difference?) And like all farms, we plant and grow "crops" of corals and periodically release them for sale to you. Because of this, our availability will vary over time. Its our goal to eventually have all of items available all of the time. But we only release our corals for sale when we have reached a "critical mass" that we think can keep up with demand for that coral. So our available inventory changes constantly as items sell out and new ones become available. But even "saleouts" will eventually be available again, but sometimes not for a year or two.
