They are collected at that size?!?!?
Yes sir, and it's very common, in fact, it's how they are all collected with a very small percentage of small rocks. I have heard from a lot of reefers who have said the same as they never knew they were collected as mass mother colonies. They are collected at these sizes, some smaller and some even larger on a regular basis. They are commonly transhipped to wholesalers in California and are stunning to look at fresh off the ocean floor. I will be heading out there later this year or early next year and I will take a ton of pictures to share with you and others as I know you enjoy the mother colonies as I do.

It's sad to know that they go from beautiful mother colonies to1polyp frags.

Love that last one, with my next tank I hope to pick no more than 10....well maybe 15 of my favorite morphs as frags. And grow them into monsters just like that!
