Isis Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 On Saturday, October 6th, MARSH will be hosting a presentation by Anthony Calfo called "Reef Toxicology". This presentation examines reef organisms with an eye upon two most fundamental categories: 1) things you can eat, and 2) things you cannot eat. Good humor and jokes aside (but included in good measure!), we will explore the increasing awareness that aquarists have about noxious, poisonous or toxic organisms in another pair of equally practical categories: 1) things you can touch, and 2) don't even think of touching that! We will review interesting creatures on the reef, including some of the most fascinating, if not bizarre species feared, eaten or otherwise used by coastal peoples. And overall, we will consider the dangerous elements (intrinsic and exudate) that some reef organisms produce and how that relates to issues of handling and stocking them in aquaria. In addition to his talk Anthony will be selling his book, Reef Invertebrates, C...The Journal the last 4 publications and subscriptions and seven of his Reef Posters. You can see all seven of his posters on ReadingTrees.com. Here is a sample of one of his posters: The prices are listed below: C...The Journal - Set of 4 - $40 Reef Invertebrates - $40 each Reef Posters - $10 each If you plan to purchase any of the above, please PM me ASAP.
