Does it harm the reefs to collect and sell fish and corals from them?
Aquatic Outlet realizes that cutting up reefs and selling them won’t last. The livestock we buy is unprotected and collected legally. We buy captive bred xenia, mushrooms, soft corals, clams, and fish whenever possible, and even propagate some ourselves. We educate our customers about the livestock they are buying, and help them create a healthy aquarium that will simulate a natural environment. This means that we are placing fish and corals into flourishing aquariums where they will live and grow for years to come. Aquatic Outlet believes that by constructing natural reef aquariums around the world the general public will have a chance to see a living coral reef up close, and will realize how important it is to protect Earth’s most magnificent and diverse ecosystem.
