Does it still produce the same result if maricultured corals are grown to a larger colony size, then fragged and glued anew immediately prior to selling? Would this make any difference with regard to the environmental impact? Again, assuming they were grown to the larger size via mariculture - not saying that Dong's were or weren't.
If you're just looking at the frag, it could either be a fragged maricultured colony or a chopped wild colony - I'm not sure how you'd tell. I guess it comes down to whether the source has any scruples. If they REALLY lacked scruples, what's to stop them from sticking aged mariculture tags / cement bases on newly chopped wild corals?
