ANTHONY CALFO

Anthony Calfo was born in Hawaii and lives in Pennsylvania. He is a lifelong aquarist and an aquarium industry professional that has worked the better part of the last decade as a commercial coral farmer and wholesaler, producing cultured reef invertebrates in a greenhouse environment for the ornamental and zoological trade.

Anthony has authored the reef aquarium books, "Book of Coral Propagation, Volume 1" (ReadingTrees.com) & “Reef Invertebrates”, and numerous articles for print and electronic journals at large. He travels frequently to visit organizations and clubs to present information on the aquatic sciences. Anthony co-founded the Pittsburgh Marine Aquarist Society with the inimitable Bob Dolan. Schooled at Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, he has degree in English Literature.

 

ABSTRACT:

Coral Farming… at Home and Under the Sun: by Anthony Calfo This presentation will explore the care and culture of captive reef corals and other invertebrates with a focus on the means and modes for reproducing them. We will cover systems under artificial and natural illumination. And there will be an address of efforts ranging from small scale to large scale, and from home business to small business scopes. Anyone with an interest in learning more about propagating reef creatures with anything more than a random approach will benefit here. Live animals will not be propagated during this particular session unless someone can figure out which one tastes best with sushi and plum wine.
