Coral reef scientists estimate that mass bleaching has killed 35% of corals on the northern and central Great Barrier Reef.

While this fish is easily confused with Cirrhilabrus lanceolatus due to its sharply angular (AKA lanceolate) tail, genetic analysis shows C.isosceles is actually not related to C.lanceolatus

Lionfish, as most Advanced Aquarist readers know, are beautiful Indo-Pacific reef fish that were inadvertently introduced into the Atlantic a decades ago, where they are now causing havoc on the ecosystem.

“WEATHER – a Coral Nightmare”- is a very special project to us. As this year will be one of the hardest years for coral reefs around the globe, due to climate Change, Global Warming and all the other environmental issues.
Most aquarists already know the advantages of a brushless DC pump: variable-speed, higher efficiency, reduced noise, and (theoretically) increased reliability and longevity. Deepwater Aquatics’ upcoming BLDC3 pump will tack on another “next gen” design feature: a spherical rotor, which does away with the conventional shaft/impeller/bearing assembly.

The Academy rounds out its “dream team” of coral reef scientists with two new renowned curators—and announces $8.5 million investment in coral reef research and restoration
Global coral reefs have a powerful new champion in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.
Good LFS around the world deserves our support. If you believe your LFS should be recognized for its excellence, send us an email with their information for our consideration.
The videos are a bit unsteady and full of glare, but it’s clear that this LFS knows how to fish-tank!
The new description is published in the Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation. Below is a transcript of information Anna DeLoach shared with Advanced Aquarist back on May 28, 2013.
From the Hawaii DLNR:
(HONOLULU) – David Cohen is a proud papa for good reason. He and his team, working at the Anuenue Fisheries Research Center on Oahu’s Sand Island, have now planted 300,000 Native Hawaiian collector urchins (Tripneustes gratilla) into Kaneohe Bay to control two species of invasive algae.
We love the diverse of “localized” assemblages of diverse coral types that all combine together for one very convincing, natural reef exhibit. The aquarium also features an excellent and extensive selection of nano fish (mainly gobies and cardinals) who are most appropriate for a tank of this type.
