Stock-Photo Coral
This is NOT A WYSIWYG listing, but we make it as close to one as possible. The photograph shows either the exact mother colony from which your coral originates or a representative frag displaying the size and presentation standard you can expect to receive.
In both cases, your coral comes from the exact named lineage shown. Every piece is individually selected and fully conditioned before shipping. Because coral is living and continually growing, natural differences in shape and growth may occur.
