Living Coral Biobank, Adopt a Coral pitch

[AlanM]

As we heard today from Dr Miller, one of the best ways to support the Living Coral Biobank run by the Great Barrier Reef Legacy organization is to adopt a coral frag.  They keep a tremendous amount of data on their coral frags and say that they'll share that data with you for "your" coral frag. 

 

Reliable monthly automatic contributions is the bread and butter of funding any non-profit.  It's even better than public funds which come and go with differing priorities of whoever is in charge.  Monthly contributions let a non-profit make long term plans because they know they'll have money to carry them out.

 

The frag adoption page is here:  https://coralbiobank.org/adopt-a-coral if you're interested and able.

 

They also have a page to register interest in hosting a coral frag in your home aquarium at some point in the future when they have scaled up to that point.  To register interest go to https://coralbiobank.org/ and scroll all the way down to click on the "Register Your Interest" button.

Thank for doing this Alan

Not sure if this will work, but here's my coral.  Not the most photogenic on, heh.  I think they need some more blue lights on it.

It will be interesting to see what this grows into

[AlanM]

yeah, Google search tells me it's a species identified by Charlie Veron and grows like a plating montipora.  I don't know how old the photo is if it was collected in 2020.  Seems like it would look way different now.

Cool, Alan. Here's where your coral frag came from.

Any updates on how this coral is doing? Anyone else tried it?
