[ CORALS ]
ORA™ is now producing the best, most diverse and healthy stony coral fragments in the aquarium industry. ORA™ coral frags
(fragments) are well encrusted to the base on which they are grown. They are never sold until they are fully matured as
individual coral colonies. Our corals are true hobbyist frags, designed to be grown-out in the home aquarium. They range in
size from 2- 4 inches, and are mounted on 1/2" inch diameter plastic plugs. ORA™ frags are truly aquacultured specimens, 6 or 7
generations removed from the original wild colonies. No tissue or skeleton of wild brood-stock corals remain.
ORA™ has taken the time to collect, identify and culture some of the fastest growing and finest strains of various stony coral
genera. We are culturing the most colorful examples of these genera, and have developed some of the most popular corals ever
available. Our coral hatchery personnel are exceptionally aware of coral health issues. The advanced quality control methods
used at ORA™ ensure only problem-free specimens are sold.
ORA™ corals are grown in our greenhouse culture facilities in Florida and the Marshall Islands. They are under shaded sunlight, complemented by 250 Watt,
10,000K double-ended HQI Metal Halide lights. They are fully ready to be acclimated to aquarium light, water and flow conditions.
They are grown in natural seawater so proper acclimation to artificial saltwater is recommended.
ORA™ frags grown on plastic plugs can be mounted in a number of different ways. Many hobbyists just place the plug between
pieces of live rock. Another method is to drill a 1/2" diameter hole in the rock and simply place the plug in the hole. This method
can be used to mount the coral at different angles. Some aquarists simply snap the coral off the plug and use epoxy to mount
it to the rock.
