Cold Reef Livestock


Kelly

Recommended Posts

I am currently setting up a a temperate reef system but have encountered difficulty in obtaining livestock since there are no domestic coldwater suppliers. I would centenly don appropriate gear and collect items myself if we were located near the NE or NW coasts, but since I live in Austin that is not a viable option. Occasionaly a few cold water fish and invertebrates find their way through domestic livestock suppliers but are typically treated as tropical items which induces more stress to the organisms.

Can anyone recommend a supplier for temperate reef livestock. We are specifically interested in anemones and starfish but any domestic or international supplier contact information is welcome.

our 2009 wish list includes:

Beadlet anemone - Actinia equina

Strawberry anemone - Actinia fragacea

Snakelocks anemone - Anemonia viridis

Yellow starfish - Fromia polypor

Golden crinoid - Cenolia trichoptera

Purple Gorgonian - Calcigorgia spiculifera

Sandalled anemone - Actinothoe sphyrodeta
