. They are always on the prowl looking for the next sucker.
What is your role?
Are you beneficial bacteria, a coral skeletal building block, an important aspect of chemistry etc? Maybe you are live rock or grains of substrate, an invert that cleans up the mess or a cleaner wrasse that helps others with problems? What role do you play in this virtual saltwater aquarium system of a community we call Reef2Reef?
I was thinking this morning about how each and every one of us have a part, a role, in making this aquarium community the best it can be. We can either be an old grumpy maroon clown fish that stays to ourselves, only comes out to eat and bites anyone who comes close or we can be like a cleaner shrimp who is sweet, friendly, willing and ready to help others when the need arises.
We are all playing a part. We're all playing a role. We are either giving and taking or we are just taking. The fact is that in this ecosystem of a community we all are very important. Whether you are new or are considered an expert in this hobby we all have a place and a part to take in making Reef2Reef a beautiful, healthy, thriving, reproducing, saltwater aquarium system.
So I have some questions for you today. Hopefully we will come out from hiding behind the live rock and be truthful and honest. It's hard sometimes to look at ourselves in the light of self examination but we can be a better community if we will! We want to stay healthy and thriving! We don't want algae to take over the beautiful reef of a community we have here! So let's talk about it today!
1. What do you think is your best asset is to the community of Reef2Reef? Remember even the smallest of roles contributes to the health of a community!
2. What area do you think you, as a member of R2R, need to work on and be better at?
Im think im a giver cuz I have been through basically every problem new reefers experience, and im still pretty new. When I have a problem, Reef2Reef -> find out what the problem is -> do even more research, and find out even more about my problem, so I can help out new reefers struggling. Plus I have a HUGEEEE knowledge of biology and animals. When I go to the LFS with my family its like "hey whats this? ANd that?" ANd Im like " Hippo tang, cyphastrea, xenia, gem tang, ..." XDDWhat is your role?

I'm with you. One of my goals is to start collecting some of the "high end" corals, grow, and frag them to offer the community "affordable" corals that's aren't just bread and butter, and to help balance out some of the hypes.
nothing wrong being an opportunitist! I think the general cost in the hobby actually makes everyone a scavenger, and in some ways, an inventor at some point to help cut some corners.
