What Are They and Why in the World Would You Want One? You’ve heard the word refugium or ‘fuge but do you really know what they are? According to Dictionary.com (http://www.dictionary.com/) a refugium is “an area where special environmental circumstances have enabled a species or a community of species to survive after extinction in surrounding areas” and a refuge is “a place of shelter, protection, or safety. ”The refugiums on, or within, our aquariums perform precisely this function for our display tanks. In fact, refugiums have enhanced our ability to keep and even breed many species in our aquaria so greatly that Calfo and Fenner consider them important enough that they devote an entire chapter to the subject in their book Reef Invertebrates, An Essential Guide to Selection, Care and Compatibility.
