But he wasn't bringing zo's from Florida. He was soliciting hobbyists for frags of their best zo's to take to indo to propagate.

Just to clarify since my for some reason the topic line and the question line have a limit on characters. Should someone take corals from point A and farm them in point B commercially. I'm not talking about backyard farms but large commercial flow through or open water farms.

Since my post was sidetracked withing 5 replies I decied to run a poll. We are of course talking about farming in tropical climates. Temperate locations need not apply.

I just want to make sure that people don't think this was the club's decision. It was a person in the industry that was solicitating frags to take to Indonesia

A recent email to one of the clubs local to me brought up the action of sending some caribbean ricordia and some zooanthids to a coral farm in Jakarta. Should this be allowed? Should I not worry? What's the opinion of the group?

Funny that that elegance was considered a "beginner's" coral and did very well and now it's hard to keep one alive. I suspect this is due to the cleanliness of our tanks more than anything.

I've seen pictures of clowns in a koosh ball. Never tried it myself. You need same parameters as normal corals but usually higher lighting. I would recommend a bubble tip anemone for your first anemone.

Yeah I would think so. You might try putting in a fake host like a koosh ball or something that simulates an anemone.

You'll be fine. I have a pair of negripes and a single cap clown. I did get an anemone for both sets and they pretty much stick to their anemone at different ends of the tank.

I use what ever grows. I would never go out and buy a "kit" unless you feel the need to add certain animals but most of the critters you need can be gotten from a cup of sand from another local reefer.
