Started with, “well there must be a couple hundred in a box.” Nowhere does it say how many come in a box. This is a numbers game of casting a wide net to catch those elusive individuals who both have money and are also idiots.
It’s the equivalent of selling me a carbon fiber hood for my minivan to increase speed or a supercharger that isn’t actually connected to anything.

I do not know any more about the company that what is on their website which, in my humble opinion, isn’t much. Of the people listed as owners/developers, one has a background in chemistry in osteo studies and patents.
@Sabellafella is currently testing these frag plugs.
In closing, I will say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary results.

My wife is a doctor/administrator. She has met lots of lawyers who are also doctors and I will admit I have only met 1 or 2 but the prevailing sentiment and feeling is that they studied Law to become more effective at suing (torturing) doctors, not to become better doctors. Like cannibals who study anatomy. It’s a red flag for me when one is involved in…anything (personally).

So here's the catch. The skin incorporated the HA along with calcium carbonate into their skeletal matrix. That's what the company has found. They also found that because of the porous nature of their product, the exposure to oxygen/raised ph may be playing a factor as well.
Now as for coral health, I've cut and bought frags off the same colony, put two or 3 side by side, with one or more haulting growth.
Which they use a Hollywood stunner as a sample. I can assure you if you cut 10 frags, atleast half of them would do better then the rest with that specific type of potato chip chalice
If I can take a expensive piece that I've bought, that hasn't progressed just like every single hungs rainbow frag I've ever cut LOL. And put it on a 5 dollar chip off the old novum block. And get it jump started I'm up for it. 200 is absolutely High, 50 bucks is high. Chances that your wife buries you from spending 200 bucks on a piece of bone to grow your coral on is pretty High LOL
