Since the wild colonies have a harder time adjusting to the aquarium there's a worse survival rate than compared to the aquacultured acros. The other main issue is that a lot of wild colonies lose their color once they get into an aquarium. But, he's had these for almost a month now and they all held their colors and look healthy.

I don't mind buying a wild colony every now and then because they offer something new and different when compared to the usual aquacultured frags you see passing around.
