Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Lobophyllia serrata are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Lobophyllia serrata, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Lobophyllia serrata, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.
