if you look at both those corals, you'll see that the rock base is not snapped off, its a man made arragacreate base. The survival rate is much higher on aqua cultured pieces. They don't go from chopped off, to boat to trans shipper like the wild ones do. It's chopped off, planted on plugs and the able to heal up then shipped out to the trans shipper.
