4 or 5 years. What was going on back further than that is irrelevant at this point. I'd be willing to bet that atleast 80% of BTAs available now are captive propagated (most in AQ facilities). How they were distributed 15 years ago doesnt matter at this point.

I disagree with the Sebae. Theyre again like the pipe organ: VERY HARDY if you dont absolutely destroy them while collecting them. They're not difficult to keep, people are just doing stupid stuff to them. Anemones being dyed has nothing to do with whether they're suitable for aquarium keeping.

I've kept a lot of animals. If you want to put most anemones on the list, then IMO, every single SPS and LPS coral should be on that list.


Magnificas, different story.
