The Money Bar sponsored 1/2 of the Reef Balls deployed in Phase II. (21 of 42 units). 16 where place in front of the restaurant and the other 5 were used to connect the Marine Park project to these units biologically so that marine life could use the entire ecosystem seamlessly. Endangered Acropora Palmata coral fragments were planted on all of these newly laid reef balls (in preference to the Phase I Reef Balls) because new Reef Balls don't have as much growth on them and don't attract coralivous [coral eating] snails as much and therefore give the new corals a better chance to grow. If you visit The Money Bar or the adjacent Marine park and you notice snails directly on any elkhorn corals with a white mark on the coral around the snail please remove the snail from the coral but don't touch the coral itself. Drop the snail in the sand as far from the corals as possible. You may notice the park marine biologists doing this in the future and if so please thank them for their efforts.
