|  What is the difference between a frag and a colony?! So I have been looking at online sites and am completely confused as to what is a "colony" coral and what is just a frag. Is it just that a frag is on a plug and a colony is not? Charles

|   A colony is larger, a frag is "fragment" a small piece of a colony |

|   Its related to size and is completely based on opinion. |

|   Those are the impressions I was getting ... no idea if number of polyps/heads or size has anything to do with it, and one store can sell the exact same item as another and call it a colony and charge $40 more ...  Charles
