Coral you can traceback to the tank it grew in.
Apol Coral Gardens (ACG) cares more about your reef succeeding than about moving livestock. Every colony is captive-propagated and lineage-tracked from broodstock to sale, and we ship it with the same care reasoning we'd want if we were buying it ourselves.
Every record starts at the mother colony.
See the mother colonies- Never wild-collected
- Every colony is captive-propagated. Each one sold is one not pulled from a reef, and captive stock displaces wild demand at scale.
- Lineage on every colony
- Each colony carries a provenance record back through its mother colony, from broodstock to sale.
- CITES Appendix II
- Documented on every export-eligible listing.
- Data we publish
- Husbandry and survivorship data is hard to come by in this hobby. Publishing ours costs us nothing, so we do.
A reef-outcomes company that happens to sell coral
The same expertise that plans your tank build also banks genotypes for restoration. What we're really selling is guided outcomes and documented data; the coral is what you take home.
How we back up a recommendation
Every care recommendation we publish comes with a range and the reasoning behind it, scoped to your tank size. We don't hand out a bare number we can't stand behind. Every listing also carries a provenance record back through its lineage, which is the kind of discipline a big, volume-driven vendor can't easily copy.
A rotating catalog, not a static price list
Mother colonies today. Frags are roughly a year out, so this is the lineage they'll come from.
Our broodstock: the mother colonies every frag in the future catalog comes from. Not for sale, shown here for lineage transparency.

Most reef failures are designed in at the start
The expensive mistakes get locked in before the first coral goes in: the wrong flow, a bad stocking order, a nutrient strategy that falls apart around month three. Reef Coaching puts the engineering up front, one-on-one with someone who runs the tanks.
Diagnostic. A structured review of your system, parameters, equipment, and stocking against your goals, with a straight recommendation at the end.
Blueprint. The full plan: system design, stocking sequence, dosing and testing cadence, and a 90-day roadmap. One price, one deliverable.
Advisory. Ongoing async access after the plan, for questions, adjustments, and re-plans as your system matures.
Captive propagation, ark-node framing
Every colony grown out here is both a sellable frag and a banked genotype. Captive propagation displaces demand for wild-collected coral: the more of the catalog that comes from our own broodstock, the less pressure on wild reefs.
All stony corals are CITES Appendix II. As trade rules tighten around wild harvest, documented, aquacultured stock only gets more valuable. We'd rather be regulated than not, as long as we stay on the right side of the line and can prove it.
Plan the reef first. The coral comes after.
