Wild Coral Collection

[Renfield]

Here's an interesting article I stumbled across.  It talks about the habitats from which aquarium corals are harvested.  It's long but very informative.  What is most surprising is the depth from which some of our corals are collected and the widely varied conditions in which the same species can be found.  This fact goes a long way towards explaining why one person has no trouble with coral X and another can't keep it alive.  The two specimens may have adapted to very different habitats and are being put into aquariums with generally similar conditions, one of which is not "like home",
