Been following monsoon for a while, great bunch of guys/ girls there , amazing stuff going ahead , cannot wait to visit next year 🙏🏼 great chat Adam, thank you.
Spawning out of Australia! import/export might be easier from a country already versed in exporting coral. Get spawning Adam :). Crosses of some of your pieces would be sick.
Hey Guys, your great your pioneers mix the wild and your multi gen bred..another idea take a lightweight substrate with various frags hang upside down like you would with an LED strip light! Corals under the surface of water of course, lighting from the floor under the tank bottom or Ideally on the tank bottom low side of tank flow or bottom up flow should result in some unique dimensions coral growth
Regarding the possible CITES classification of the captive spawned corals. CITES does have "milder" classifications in such cases. However it needs to be done in such large scale for them to consider a separate classification that most likely one even larger mightnot be enough. There are plenty of good examples of this in bird breeding world such as Blue Peafowls or Ostrich. Wild Ostrich are CITES I species so practically trade is not allowed but captivebread birds and their plumes arenot CITES I and trade is allowed within certain brackets.
I'd love to talk to you on this podcast one day! We are looking at setting up a nice reef tank in the near future!
I saw their facility on a Parker’s Reef episode. Amazing.
Awesome, I'll have to check that out.. Also inperson one day, I hope! Thank you!
Can't wait for Monsoon to possibly start a facility here in WA to help ship out the corals collected here
That would be cool! I saw a selection of WA corals at Aquashella; amazing stuff.
Great job once again, Adam 👍
Thanks Steve!

That makes sense, thanks for the info! Still very promising for the future. ;)
I don’t think we can change anything about the climate, unfortunately. You can try but you’ll go insane trying to make a difference.
