Adopting a coral gives us the funds we need to care for a coral fragment until it grows large enough to outplant onto the reef. On the reef it will grow into a precious member of the reef community. One fragment has the potential to grow into an adult, sexually productive colony in just the first few years. Subsequently, it could live on for many, many years, for future generations to enjoy, playing its integral role in the coral reef ecosystem.

Your adoption of a boulder coral tree covers one year of regular maintenance and coral production of a tree full of boulder coral fragments. Boulder corals represent a variety of hearty, reef building species, from star corals to brain corals. The full process from nursery to reef involves trips to the nursery for cleaning, fragmentation, outplanting, and finally monitoring. Your tree will help us to propagate many rounds of boulder fragments as it can be reused for years with many rotations of new fragments (approx. every 6-12 months). Our boulder coral outplants have shown success in a variety of sites, and withstood the 2023 bleaching event with a higher success rate than branching corals.
