Coral Donor Program (CDP)

The SLASH Coral Donor Program (CDP) allows members to receive free frags from other members with the condition that they in turn pass along frags to other members once the coral has grown out. The CDP is completely voluntary and works best for members who reach out to other members i.e. attend meetings.  There is a growing list of over 200 different corals available to SLASH members through the CDP.
