I have a question. How much in percentage is your coral livestock captive bred??? - Page 3

in my new tank, 100% of my corals are aquacultured and 50% of my fish are tank raised.
Being new to the hobby, I need to do more research on the environmental issues at hand.

SPS is 100% aquacultured. LPS is 100% wild caught (but I have very very few).

80% at least of my corals are aquacultured.

100% wild, i dont have a choice

when i was stateside, i have to say i had much better success with captive/aqua.

i would never suggest to anyone to get wild SPS. too hard to acclimae.

With the exception of a couple of LPS, my corals have always been aquacultured or maricultured (from reliable sources). All of the livestock in my new system--fishes, corals, anemone--will be aquacultured.
