Can I Give Corals as a Christmas Gift?

Short story written in part by ChatGPT A.I. and photo above created in part by Wonder A.I.

It was Christmas morning, and the man woke up with a feeling of excitement and anticipation. He had been hoping for a very special gift, and he couldn't wait to see what was waiting for him under the tree.

He rushed downstairs and tore open the wrapping paper, revealing a crisp white box with a big blue sticker on it that read "TheCoralFarm.com". He popped open the Styrofoam container to reveal a beautiful, pink and purple Lobo coral. It was his favorite type of coral, and he had been longing for one for years.

The man was overjoyed, and he quickly set about preparing a spot for the coral in his aquarium. He carefully placed it among the rocks and other corals, and watched as it began to puff up in agreement.

Over the next few days, the man watched with amazement as the coral grew and flourished. It was a sight to behold, and it brought him great joy and satisfaction.

As the weeks and months passed, the man cared for his coral with love and dedication. He regularly cleaned the aquarium, provided the right nutrients and lighting, and made sure that the water was always just right.

And as the coral continued to grow and thrive, the man realized that his Christmas gift was not just a beautiful piece of coral, but a source of endless wonder and delight. It was the perfect gift, and he was grateful for it every day.​

​Let's make it happen! We have some ideas that will help you successfully give the GIFT OF CORALS under the Christmas this year. 

1) If you are local to a reef shop arrange to pick them up the day before Christmas. Keep them as close to 76F degrees as you can even if it means turning up the heat in the house a little bit. Most corals will be fine even down to the mid 60's but not over the low 80's. So keep them warm but don't put them next to the heater. Most corals will be fine in the bag for 2 days if you keep them warm. 

2) Gift Cards are great! You are off the hook for picking out the corals and they get to pick that perfect coral of their dreams.

3) Buy now and ship later. You can print out photos of the corals you bought and wrap them up as stocking stuffers! Get that look of joy over and over again for each coral photo they discover. We can arrange shipping after all the holiday craziness.
