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.

If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	AGain, another one where I feel we need more information on the success reported - Frank Baensch is our best source I suspect.
