9/3/11 12:33 AM Kathy, what makes you feel this is worthy of FC2 vs. FC1? What's the difficulty beyond let's say a rotifer...?

9/7/11 05:52 AM I really don't have a strong feeling about the classification level, other than its' a relatively new organism for saltwater culturists, and little is known about the optimal way to culture it. There may be more to learn. I just want it on the list. A bunch of people are culturing it now, so I think it should be something for which MBI gives credit. I don't care how we assign level to it.
