They could outlive us.

Corals should never die, they should grow.

i'm wondering. where do those corals in LFS come from? harvest from the open ocean? thought those natural coral reefs are protected? or those are grown in farms?

Some parts are protected, some specific corals are protected. Some come from the ocean, some are farmed, like ORA for example. My friend has a farm and a store.
