Hi Victor, thats a great question! We encourage the original farmer to register their piece and that establishes a hard lineage to that farmer.We don't register second party names because that is where it gets a little uncertain. I have already had people trying to register "Tyree" Corals. I don't let this happen since it came from them and not Tyree or Reeffarmers to be more exact.Even if they produce an invoice from Reeffarmers they cannot use the Reeffarmer name .The NCRA provides unique certificates to send out with frags with individual numbers that are never duplicated. If you register a WWC Coral it will always have a hard lineage that keeps your name and only your name on the Registration. We have other measures in place that stop people from using a valid cert. on another coral.When someone buys a coral they have a limited time to register their ownership of the coral, if they miss the window for registration the certificate and that number becomes null and void and cannot be used.We are working really hard to stop the described scenario from taking place and think we have a pretty good program to keep things in check. There is no charge for any registration services to the farmer.We take care of the printing,mailing,data bases, archiving,and any other details.
In odd situations such as this we communicate with the famers and parties involved and come up with a fair resolution for everyone.In this case it would involve Jgonzz and Wicked. I hate to see anyone locked out if the coral is registered and if it can be proven within a shadow of a doubt then we can grandfather in the involved parties. It is our pure intentions to establish an exact and true lineage to the famers.These are alot of the questions the registry is meant to alleve. Its just hard because there has to be a starting point somewhere. We want to really encourage the farmers to register and start their lineages.
