A colony is a full, multi-branch piece rather than a single-branch frag — instant presence in a display tank and, for growers, a mother to cut from. Reef Jase colonies are WYSIWYG and tank-conditioned pest-free for two weeks, so what arrives is a settled, feeding coral ready to mount. Colony availability is limited by nature — these are the pieces the frags come off of — so the selection here rotates as new ones come in. Every colony ships overnight on a weather-gated schedule and carries our live arrival guarantee.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
- What is the difference between an SPS frag and a colony?
- A frag is a single cutting; a colony is a larger, multi-branch piece. Colonies give instant presence in a display and serve as a mother colony to frag from over time.
- How many frags can I cut from a colony?
- It depends on the colony size and branch structure, but a healthy colony can yield several frags once it settles and grows in. Where we know a piece frags well, the listing notes it.
