Lokani Acropora source question

[goda]

is it true that a guy named ralph is your supplier for these ( met a whole saler today who claimed to sell the Lokani Acropora to you. ) if so i will probobly buy several since his were so nice ( but way more expensive at the place he was selling them to.. they wanted 79 bucks for it)

he said hes from coral nursarey or somthing like that

Goda,

Thank you for your response. We apologize, we would like to clarify our first post. The broodstock for this coral was acquired as a small frag that was cut from a wild Tongan coral colony. Rafael, owner of The Coral Nursery (TCN), grew out the small frag over the next few years into a beautiful colony that is now used to produce these incredibly colored frags, which are aquacultured at our coral farm facility.

lol i already saw the thread regarding that. im inlove with the coral i saw at the LFS today and havefound out that it is the same coral

was nice talking to him cause i found out that he uses the same lighting as me so the corals will mostlikely maintain the color

iv never even seen the other version of this coral that was by tyree or who ever
