Success References:

http://www.worldwidereefers.com/forums/showthread.php?4263-List-of-captive-bred-livestock - http://www.rcthawaii.com/cvb/5.htm - this is highly questionable at this moment. I have personally contacted Joost De Vries, the presumed author of the list, to ask for more info, and it appears that Joost simply used Frank Baensch's list. Which means, Frank is the real person to ask....

PENDING further clarifications on Joost's list. Spawning mode currently unknown..could spawn in nests, could broadcast. We need MORE INFO.

Journal:

If Challenging Existing Classification
Reasons Species Should be Reclassified:

If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	Should be similar to the Butter Hamlet, which Moe does report rearing success with. Need more information to take spawning success as valid.
