Book 1: Principles, Algae, Invertebrates
by Robert (Bob) Fenner |
Too many people envision the reefs of the world to
be some aquatic equivalent of "Bambi crossing a meadow" with
some sort of miraculous "balance" amongst the life that
occurs there. This is a dangerous precept for aquarists, as these areas
are veritable battle zones with the life competing for space, food,
mates... at a "tooth and claw" level. Most all benthic life
we keep continues with this behavior in captivity. Overgrowing,
shading, poisoning, stinging, eating its neighbors... Sometimes at
great distances. Herein will be my statements re approaches to
alleviate the major thrusts of this issue with stinging-celled life...
All out competition is an omnipresent situation in captive reefs.
Proper set-up... Starting with smaller specimens, placing the less
noxious to more in order, careful maintenance... and observation are
all useful tools here.
