Biography:

I am a natural historian of sea anemones with strong interests in coral

reefs, the deep seas, and high latitudes. A convergence of my research

activities on the biogeography, evolution, systematics, reproduction, and

symbioses of these animals and their relatives led me to build a database

through which I could interrelate seemingly disparate aspects of biology.

As I began to locate what is known (and, by implication, to identify what

is left to be discovered), I became increasingly concerned with limits to

knowledge, and how precision and accuracy must be considered as part of

what is known and what is not.

Richard Harker has been a reef hobbyist for 14 years. His first reef tank was a 90 gallon tank with primarily soft corals. The tank evolved into a stony coral tank in the early 1990s and he has primarily maintained small polyp stony corals since then. In 1995 he stepped up to a 300 gallon reef tank. Photos of the tank have been featured in numerous hobbyist magazine articles and is included in Mike Paletta
