What's it mean?

What does aquacultured mean? And is it good? And is there an alternative? I'm basically saying I know nothing about it so any info will be something I didn't know lol

It means it was grown (most often in the ocean) for the purpose of being used in an aquarium rather than being taken off a coral reef, so it is a good thing (if you view protecting the reefs as a good thing).

Ok awesome, I was just wondering because both of my LFS have stickers on their doors that say aqua cultured corals only, so that's cool thank you

There are many different places that aquaculture or essential breed/ raise things for the aquarium industry. It allows for the hobby which I love so much to last for longer and hopefully future generations. My clam and a lot of my corals are aqua cultured even one of my fish

Cool, it's really nice to know that people are doing a lot to conserve the reefs of the world while living side by side with them in our homes
