A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Choose your corals with confidence.

An appointment gives you time to view available corals in person, discuss your aquarium and choose specimens suited to your reef.

Meet Christian, see the colour and character of our corals first-hand, and ask questions about the pieces you’re considering. Whether you have particular corals in mind or would welcome guidance, your appointment gives you space to make a considered selection.

A working coral farm.

Our systems support quarantine, conditioning, established mother colonies and coral grow-out. Visits are arranged around the care and day-to-day running of the farm, helping us give both our corals and our customers the attention they deserve.

We aim to offer appointments on one Saturday each month. Dates and availability depend on the needs of the farm and the interest received.

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS

Before your visit.

Appointments arranged in advance

Every visit requires an agreed date, time and written confirmation. We’re unable to accommodate unannounced visits, even if you happen to be passing by.

Dedicated time

Appointments last up to 90 minutes. Please arrive at your agreed time so that each customer receives their dedicated appointment. Late arrival reduces the time available, and appointments finish as scheduled.

One customer, plus one guest

You are welcome to attend alone or bring one additional person. We can accommodate a maximum of two visitors per appointment.

Visitors aged 16 and over

All visitors must be aged 16 or over.

Accessibility arrangements

Please tell us about any accessibility requirements or assistance dog when requesting your visit, so we can discuss suitable arrangements in advance. Other pets and animals cannot accompany visitors.

Visits for coral selection and purchase

Appointments are intended for customers planning to purchase coral. They are not general facility tours, open days or standalone consultation sessions.
