Sharkb8 May 10, 2006 Share May 10, 2006 Was doing some research on these corals recently and found this very interesting and informative article by Eric Borneman at: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-08/eb/index.php "One of the primary goals of future efforts is to acquire larger stock populations of the critically important A. cervicornis and A. palmata species. We are confident that large-scale propagation of A. cervicornis will be possible. This species is among the most important to Caribbean reefs, but because of its rarity today, is difficult to acquire and is carefully guarded by managers. We would urge resource managers to allow collections of this species to enable us to rapidly reproduce fragments for research (or rehabilitation efforts). We are equally confident that we can grow the notoriously sensitive and demanding A. palmata. We believe the key to successful culture of this species will be in the efficient and proper transport of collected fragments, and that once in systems specifically designed to meet the species requirements, they will thrive just as every other Acroporid does when proper husbandry is provided." Reefkeeping, August, 2004, Volume 3, Issue 7, "Coral Culture for Disease Research and Reef Restoration." Good stuff. But you all probably have already seen this article.
