The Dendronephthya Study Group is here

[coralite]

Dear all,
Chip Matthews and I are spearheading the birth of a focused effort on non photosynthetic coral culture with the creation of the Dendronephthea Study Group (DSG). The DSG will make its first splash through a mailing list which will be a place where we can focus on and periodically discuss topics pertaining to the care of the fabulous non-photosynthetic soft coral species. Anyone is free to join and view our postings at our homepage

I would join, if you were not on Google! If you go independant, let me know.

What are your concerns with google? I am open to suggestions for "independent" options. the last thing I want is for interested persons to shy away from participation because of the mailing list service I chose.

Google has recently been involved in some information desemination of which I do not approve. (China!) I am for total privacy and no censor. Earlier, Google was as well. Not any more.

I have been banned from many web-providers because i have used words like 'sex' when describing the gender of a bird! AT&T is also on my ****-list.

It's just politics in a paranoid world.

Hi Jake congratulations with the birth I've just registered. But our forum in Holland also has a special space (dutch and English) for the non photosynthetic coral lovers out there and there is a specialized forum in Germany also but What we need is an international platform to discuss these corals and their husbandry.

Hi Jamie nice seeing you here.


dutch/english non photosynthetic forum

German forum non photosyntetic corals (matuta)

Hey Danny, thanks for showing up and signing up. I checked out your forums. Although not many of the posts were in English, I will continue to eyeball the place for juicy info. Spread the word to people that you know that might be interested.

The first few emails we send out will reveal to the participants of the list serve just how detailed we aim to be about understanding how filter feeders thrive and reproduce instead of just survive. For the most part, we will use Dendronephthya as our 'target' organism so our discussions will focus on the context of keeping these species in particular.
