I hope everyone had an amazing day yesterday with their loved ones! We are continuing the educational fragging series. For this video, I drove over to Pirates Reef Corals to talk about what they do best and what they're best known for: SPS corals. Mainly Acropora sp. Reinaldo Riveron took us in [...]
