Well Maricultured can't be exactly be called aquaculture either... I guess it's sort of a middle ground. They may dress up the plug a bit, but I would still consider it a wild coral.

It's technically grown the majority of it's life in the wild... even if it's transplanted to another area in the wild for a time period. I didn't ask how long the Maricultured Corals spend at their facility before being offered for sale. Obviously they aren't being grown in the ocean in Wisconsin.

I called Live Aquaria to confirm what I stated above, and they also stated that the Diver's Den SPS section is their wild stuff... a.k.a. clipped and shipped.
