This is so cool. So if you are just collecting for your own tank, do you just break pieces of anything you like? Are their any laws on what you can frag and what not? I really need to visit a real reef.

Yes, but most of the time you will find pieces on the sand, fragged my mother nature, turtles, sharks, fishes etc. literally there are hundreds small pieces all over the place.

We have marine parks as well, and fully protected so no such activities allowed

Basically my state is surrounded by reefs. Just grab you snorkels and head out to the reef tanks, mother nature would love to show you around.

Awesome thread mate! I also live near a reef that gets exposed at low tide but it's no where near as nice as yours!

Just saw Donovan's pictures of wild corals and I didn't even know that there's so many of these corals flourishing locally ... but then I left my birth hometown of Borneo back in 1989. Thanks for the memories .... RIP Donovan Joannes

Don't think they are supposed to be exposed to air

Actually its fine. The hawaii aquarium lifts out their clam to weigh them and sometimes they’re out for 5 mins. Also at the fish stores they scrub clams out of the water to remove any of those parasitic snails

Sipadan, Malaysia
A Malaysian island located off Borneo’s east coast, Sipadan became famous following Cousteau’s early ‘80s film “Ghost of the Sea Turtles.” Cousteau himself said of the area, “I have seen other places like Sipadan 45 years ago, but now no more. Now we have found an untouched piece of art.” Since then it has often landed atop lists of the world’s best dive sites, with more than 3,000 marine species and corals; it’s particularly noted for its large number of turtles. Sipadan has been protected since 2002, so there are no resorts on the island and divers can only visit via day boat. Since 2013 only 120 divers are allowed on Sipadan daily between the hours of 8:00am and 3:00pm. Most dives here are drift dives, with some very strong currents in some places. An Advanced Open Water certification or minimum of 20 logged dives is required.
