Ethical Reef Corals Supporting Conservation | First Due Aquatic Rescue

First Due Aquatic Rescue LLC

First Due Aquatic Rescue LLC (FDAR) is a purpose-driven aquatic retail and consultation company connecting reef hobbyists with responsibly sourced corals rooted in scientific study and long-term sustainability.

We operate as the retail link between the aquarium community and professionally maintained coral systems in partnership with CapitalCoral, Inc.—a facility actively involved in coral research and aquaculture advancement.

Unlike traditional coral vendors, First Due Aquatic Rescue exists to do more than sell livestock. Every coral offered originates from systems that are carefully monitored and studied, and a portion of each sale directly contributes to ongoing research, system refinement, and coral health initiatives. This allows hobbyists to support scientific progress simply by choosing where they buy.

Our approach prioritizes:

• Ethical aquaculture and responsible sourcing

• Coral health, stability, and proper handling

• Transparent operations and education-first support

• Sustainable growth that benefits both the hobby and the science behind it

Whether you’re building your first reef or refining an advanced system, First Due Aquatic Rescue is committed to providing livestock you can trust—while helping advance the future of reefkeeping through responsible, research-supported practices.
