• Elkhorn Coral Planting by the Coral Restoration Foundation

    This new video was released by the CRF on July 29, 2012, showing how corals are not only grown out from frags but then planted back on actual reef foundations to restore what has been lost over the years. Ken Nedimyer organized his dream to rebuild our reefs on frag at a time, and it is gaining momentum. As hobbyists, we are more inclined to dream about what we can add to our aquarium next, but Ken's vision is what can we do to help the ocean regain some of its former beauty?

    If you'd like to learn more about the Coral Restoration Foundation, be sure to attend MACNA September 28-30, 2012. Ken's going to be speaking: “Coral Replanting: Hope for Caribbean Coral Reefs”


    You can talk with him at the conference and learn how you can help personally.

      i have seen these people throughout the years....
      but always wanted to ask if you could take Captive/in-tank frags and give them to these people and have them re-introduce them back to the reef?
      i only say this because i know a lot of corals come from elsewhere now, but if there a list of some that have died and would like to be put back in the ocean/reef. i would pay and send some if i had them.
      (i do have elkhorn in my tank... but no idea what kind or where it came from.)
