Frags or Full Peices

[Vitaminz]

I like buying Frags also, have the fun is in watching them grow....kind of like kids, don't want to adopt a teenager, you want to see them grow up...lol

Mostly frags for me but sometimes the stores have some really great colonies that I just can't say no to! I prefer frags because it lets me try new corals for a lot cheaper and tank raised specimens are usually more hardy and have fewer pests.

Frags for sure.

If you know what you're doing and what exactly your tank plans are for the future, colonies are way to go. This way you don't have to sit for 3 years or more to grow a coral that you know you like and want to have.
If you are not sure and may change preferences and learn, frags are good way to start.

I used to like to buy frags but now i'd rather by larger pieces if i can. Some corals take forever to grow

Reefers of today, and the poll reflects it, are concerned about mining wild colonies from the oceans.

Aquacultured coral grown by natives of the islands, the LFS or by fellow reefers is the only way to go.

SPS I buy frags since it is more satisfying for them to grow out. Most LPS grow waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slow, so I buy colonies. Like good sized Lobos, etc. If it is a "rare" piece, a fast grower, or particularly spectacular I will buy an LPS frag.

There are over 100 plus pests,irritant's and predator's that can make there way to our reefs

a lot less of a risk along with more accountability when a person buys from other fellow reefer's

I agree with some coral being unrealistic to buy as frags usually the larger lps
