    The one clip showed the time lapse of the "frags" at 6 months, but I didn't catch how long the project has been going.
    I guess they don't need to.:)
    Very cool project, would love to volunteer.

    I only wear gloves when I handle zoas/palys, but in the ocean anything could be there.
    Not only that but I think you can also hurt the coral by handling it too much.
    I guess they are pros though ;)

    Scientists have to be professional when caring for their reefs. lol. :p

    I think JJL meant as far as not hurting the corals at all? but I see your point. We don't use gloves(most of us), what difference would it make in the ocean?
