The aquarium hobby often competes with video games for the attention of today’s youthful aquarists. So, it should come as no surprise that we are glad to see somewhat of an inclusion of reef life into one of the most popular video game series that the gaming industry has ever seen. The reveal trailer of the upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts has one very beautiful and lifelike scene of a wild reef, complete with push corals, a powder blue tang, and a heniochus butterflyfish. According to the trailer, the action heats up on said reef, as the playable character in the game fights opposing forces. A large jet fighter appears to crash in the previously tranquil reef scene. Obviously the game will have a ton of intense action sequences, and the digital reef makes for a great backdrop. We just hope that some of those reef animals are interactive and add some details to the storyline.

For this week’s AquaNerd Picture of the Week, we’re revisiting Daniel Leija’s 40-gallon mixed reef aquarium, which houses one very beautiful Maxi Mini carpet anemones. Carpet anemones have always been a favorite among aquarium keepers, but they are far too large to house in smaller aquaria. So, it’s no surprise that the Maxi Mini anemones are so popular with the small tank crowd. These anemones often exhibit a rainbow of colors, often outlined with a green ring. Despite their name, these anemones can get quite large. While most are sold in the 1-2″ diameter range, they can grow to be 4+” across. « Previous post
