CORALCLIP™ is a small stainless steel spring clip and integrated masonry nail that is used to out-plant coral fragments, larval seeding units or micro-fragment plugs. Coralclip enables simple, rapid out-planting at optimum locations for growth including surge-prone sites or vertical substrates.
By securely retaining the coral it can self-attach within a couple of months. Within a year the Coralclip is covered by the coral and no longer visible. Within a couple of years, the fragment develops the colony shape of a natal colony.
Fast
Up to 100 corals can be outplanted per diver in a single dive
Low Cost
Clips are low cost. Rapid planting reduces time costs. Only a hammer and small brush are needed
Reusable
If a fragment is unsuccessful the same CORALCLIP can be used for another
Convenient
Minimal preparation time with no plastic, chemicals or cement. Minimal training required
Instant Fix
No setting time means corals can be out-planted at sites where adhesives are not viable
