We are a group of hobbyists who get together to make friendships with other hobbyists, share our experiences, educate and get educated on proper aquarium husbandry techniques, learn how to aquaculture our own corals, do frag swaps, do tours of our tanks and behind the scenes tours of public aquariums, and most importantly, have fun. In the future we would like to bring in some of the big names in the hobby to speak such as Julian Sprung, Eric Borneman, Sanjay Joshi, Anthony Calfo, Bob Fenner, and many others. This club is for ALL aquarium hobbyists, including freshwater and saltwater.

Here is a story I got...Mitch at Henry Doorly Zoo, my mentor, told me about this. Check it out. Very interesting. Illgeal to harvest coral out of the Carribbean but not plania...or baby coral for lack of better terms.

Have fun reading...if ?? just ask, I have great contact with him still....he has over 200+ baby corals growing in Omaha, NE at Henry DOorly Zoo...pretty cool. Elkhorn Coral finally in captivity.

Reef rescue - International team of biologists works to grow endangered coral in aquariums
Tuesday, October 03, 2006
By Mike Lafferty, THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
It's pitch black off the southwestern coast of Puerto Rico as Mike Brittsan drifts in the warm current 20 feet below the waves. The only light comes from a flashlight he has trained on a patch of coral. For two nights, the Acropora palmate has done absolutely nothing, defying Brittsan and the other biologists who have gathered, waiting for this odd animal to reproduce. Then, with no warning, the elkhorn coral comes alive and releases enormous bundles of sperm and eggs.
