Hi and welcome Rossco!!

Welcome to an incredibly addicting hobby!!!

"is it plundered or grown?"
B]And its fantastic to see someone asking this question!![/B]
You can get frags from other reefers, most of the stuff in the shops is wild collected! But ask wherever you go if they have aquacultured stuff! There is also some standards and conventions which are sort of a "good governance" agreement that some fish stores encourage. IE: they will only purchase from distributors that have been rated to comply, but i cant remember the name of the standards! Blegh!

Thanks Deon,
The shelf is an old marble tile (which oddly looks like its made of coral!)
I plan on playing around with ceramic rocks as I am in that industry,
I think a lot more could be done than just the blobs of ceramic rocks on the market.
I got a few fern like strands of weed on some of the rocks I bought.
It does not look as tough as pics of Culpera I have seen in books.
Should I worry about it?

Cheers Ross
