Calfo Leaving IceCap to Pursue Personal Venture

Anthony Calfo will be leaving the IceCap family to pursue efforts in the aquaculture of endangered, threatened and simply needy species of poor survivability for the marine ornamentals trade, an area of great personal interest to Anthony.

The relationship between Anthony and the IceCap team over the last year has been stimulating and forged a mutual respect and desire for the prosperity of not only each respective party, but also for collective efforts to improve the quality of industry and commerce in the hobby and science of reef aquatics. We can look forward to continued innovative contributions from both of these tenured leaders for many years to come.

IceCap's executive team wishes Anthony the best on his new venture.
