Where do the animals at Tom's Corals come from?<\/h1>

My heart beats for collecting and breeding exceptional corals. Founding \u2018Tom's Corals\u2019 has been a small dream come true, as it gives me access to particularly interesting sources of imported animals to expand my own breeding stock.<\/h3>

There are essentially two types of origin of the animals that I offer for sale. On the one hand, of course, corals from my own breeding. These are animals that are optimally adapted to the conditions in the aquarium. As a result, they are usually more stable than their freshly imported counterparts - but there are also fewer surprises in terms of growth and coloration than with animals that have yet to acclimatize to their new habitat.<\/p>

Then I also offer corals from the sea. Of course, all corals come from somewhere in the sea, but animals with the abbreviation \u2018AM\u2019 are acclimatized corals from mariculture. This means that the corals were bred in coastal farms in Indonesia & Co and then came to me via import and intermediaries. On the one hand, I buy these corals to expand my breeding program. Because in order to offer you an interesting selection, new colors or growth forms are needed from time to time (I'm also a hunter-gatherer myself ;)) - and then there are corals, such as special euphyllia, which simply grow faster in the sea.<\/p>

However, these farm-bred wild animals are not sold directly, but are first acclimatized. This means that they remain in my facility until they have familiarized themselves with their new habitat and I can sell them to you with a clear conscience. This means less risk for you and I can take a piece of the most beautiful corals for breeding.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

AM<\/strong> stands for an acclimatized offshoot from mariculture. The mother has grown in the sea. After an acclimatization period, an offshoot is made and put up for sale when it is fit. The acclimatization time can vary greatly. Millepores are often stable after a few weeks, while Acropora tenuis can take a little longer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

DNZ<\/strong> stands for offshoot from German breeding. This means that the offshoot has grown completely in the aquarium. In general, it can be said that offshoots from German breeding are somewhat more color-stable and less sensitive than their marine counterparts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

SC<\/strong> stands for signature coral. These are offshoots from German offspring of corals that have stood out due to their color or growth habit. Signature corals always come from a special mother and are not \u2018look-alikes\u2019.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
