Frags vs. Colony

[Sparkss]

As has been stated multiple times, frags will grow to the current tanks environment, for lighting, flow, nutrient level, etc. Tabling acros are a great example. It is widely known that wild tabling colonies have a horribly high mortality rate but the success rate from growing the exact same coral from a frag is very good. Most attribute this to flow rate and patterns. This same philosophy applies to any SPS, but some acclimate and survive better than others.

Captive raise colonies or frags keep best color most of the time.
