Obvious to anyone who has been stung by something in their tank, there are a lot of very strong chemicals and living things in the water.  Scientists are now making inroads discovering some of the incredible compounds that are quite literally teeming on the reef.  This time, a team researching antibiotics that may be effective at combating tuberculosis has revealed that they found a new antibiotic in the muck of a reef.  Pretty exciting stuff for all the conservationists amongst us.
