Hi
I guess this thread gives me a good excuse to introduce myself.
As far as reef tanks are concerned I am very much the 'newbie', despite that
I am member of several forums and have been for over a year on some. As far
as this forum is concerned I have read & lurked for about a month.
The question how do you get anemones to live has been a major topic of
debate on one forum I belong (the old Aquarist.net forum now International
Marine Aquarists). The debate has been rather heated (I'm English so excuse
the understatement) as some members didn't have a problem with the idea of
an animal only living max 3 months when in the wild its lifespan could be
measured in decades if not centuries.
In the midst of the argument I suggested that as aquarists of equal
experience and with similar expertise have varying success with anemones,
then why don't we survey the membership and evaluate why some are successful
and others aren't. I then expanded on this by suggesting that we approach
as many as possible marine aquarists by inviting all of the forums our
members are also members of.
We are fortunate to have Frank Greco of the New York Conservation Aquarium &
Elizabeth Lukan editor of Fish'N'Chips as members of the forum. Frank has
jumped at the chance of such research and is a) inviting Dr Daphne Fautin to
oversee the project and b) preparing a questionnaire. Elizabeth will
publish the questionnaire in her next issue of Fish'N'Chips as well as any
findings.
This approach may or may not provide the answers we are looking for in this
instance, however, like the Seti project, it could be a powerful tool for
answering those questions that have, until now remained unanswerable.
So, what do you think?
