True =) I'm still a believer in some certificate/regulation program is needed though... I believe there's too much waste/replace in this industry.
My local club had a great presentation from secore.org this week. They're "thinkin" about trying to reintroduce elkhorn corals they've been raising into the caribbean since 90-95% of the coral has died in the last 10-15 yrs. Personally, I think distributing frags is a better idea until temperatures/whatever is causing issues in the sea to settle down. I'm not so sure their current ~3k frags will survive/make much difference in the sea... but I could be wrong. Tough call imo!
