Coral Creatures is a small marine ornamental aquaculture business, specialising in the production of corals, fish, and shrimp.
Coral Creatures was born from a passionate marine aquarist with close to 20 years experience in reef keeping and is continually trialling new fish/invert species and hopes to break new ground to provide a greater selection of high quality aquacultured stock. To date, the following have been successfully bred and raised:
- Amphiprion frenatus
- Amphiprion ocellaris
- Amphiprion percula
- Premnas biaculeatus
- Pterapogon kauderni
- Lysmata vittata
- Thor amboinensis
- Lysmata debelius
Species currently being worked on:
- Amhiprionpolymnus
- Gobiodon okinawae
- Chromis viridis
- Chrysiptera parasema
- Lysmata amboinensis
Coral Creatures does not chop wild collected coral colonies and on sell. All corals have been in captivity for more than a year before new captive growth is fragged. These first-generation frags are then grown out and then fragged again, and are either grown out for sale or used to make future frags. Therefore, frags sold are at a minimum, second-generation and believed to be without wild tissue. Some of the original broodstock have been in captive care for 5+ years, with some originally purchased as small aquacultured frags.
The aquaculture of all marine fish and inverts is land-based using artificial seawater and all zooplankton feed is cultured on site, not from collected plankton tows.
Happy Reefing!
