Reef in a Jar

[Coral Reef To Classroom]

Awhile back I posted an interest in aiptasia donations. Probably many of you thought I was nuts. I wanted to share a recent tank setup in our classroom. The goal is to raise anemones to eventually share with students to keep at home in a little mini reef jar. I am so excited to get the tanks setup again after covid shut us down. I will soon share our other tanks as we fill them with some cool stuff!

Do you hate your students? Lol. Why do you want to give them aptasia?

Get a mantis shrimp for that tank.

I actually took this idea from a college professor at Pratt who challenged his students to keep aiptasia in their dorm rooms. Hoping to inspire future reef keepers while teaching them science!

That’s awesome, and a great idea. I wish more teachers would do what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
