If you were to ask our customers what they love most about Rock 'N' Critters, we'd bet that more than a few would cite our enormous range of marine corals.

Introducing a coral colony to your marine aquarium is a fantastic way to add a colourful new dimension to the tank. Many fish have a symbiotic relationship with coral, so incorporating a colony into your marine ecosystem may benefit the other inhabitants of your aquarium as well!

Watching a small piece of coral grow into a large colony is one of the most enjoyable parts of managing your very own reef.

Coral fragments can be cut from an existing colony using a pair of coral cutters, but if you'd prefer not to do this yourself, you'll be pleased to learn that we sell a colourful range of coral frags here at Rock 'N' Critters!

There are thousands of different coral species on planet Earth, but broadly speaking, they can be sorted into three different categories:

• SPS corals
• LPS corals
• Soft corals

Read on to learn about the differences between these three coral types.
