How do we get corals to our nursery?

Would you like to know how do we get corals to our nursery?

We visit different places where, as we suppose, the reef can be damaged by snorkeling people, divers, construction work or by hunting predators. There we look for broken but still living coral fragments. We check the condition of found corals carefully, remove parts that are dead or covered by algae, sometimes we divide them into smaller pieces. Then we fix them in the nursery.

Sometimes we find a really big part or even the whole coral. In this case, it is not necessary to plant it in the nursery. Using underwater cement, we fix our coral to the ground at the final spot at the reef where it can live and grow peacefully.
