Sorry DBA, you must know something the rest of the hobby doesn't. I don't believe your 49:50 survival rate on goniopora for even a second. I'm not new to the hobby here, you may sell that to the unsuspecting but c'mon man. "For currently unknown reasons, Goniopora have a long history of failing to survive in the the aquarium, often going into a slow demise for no apparent reason." Eric H. Borneman. As for your reference to anemones, I think you should re-read my post. Another point is that the quality of care these animals receive is not always the same. Your friend with the splitting BTAs is doing something right but if you want to see the amount of people that aren't doing so well with them have a read around the boards and then imagine that they're just the ones that post their loss and of that we're still the minority of people that use the bbs compared to those that purchase marine livestock.
It sounds like you have a very specialized clientelle. On one hand you've told us that your clients are rich and just want something to look good and next you're saying that they are able to care for the most difficult species that have the lowest survival rate. Something's wrong with your story.
