coral growth vessels for transport and production

[hypergraphicreef]

I like to post these on science boards because they generate good discussion, doubts and detractors...the fact is they work and there are no others like them in the world, so this is unique biology to say the least. These are the smallest true reef tanks in the world, hope you enjoy a litle ten minute show of my casa. If I had a dime for every coral expert who doubted lol...

Computer fish tanks.

It is really fascinating how nature works sometimes, as you have speculated.
