The offspring of Lobophytum pauciflorum are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Lobophytum pauciflorum, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Lobophytum pauciflorum, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Hallo zicken3,

ja, Du kannst die Koralle teilen.
Es kann sein, dass direkt nach dem Schnitt noch Gewebeflüssigkeit ins Aquarium läuf,t und die Koralle ein wenig Zeit benötigt, um sich wieder zu öffnen.
