The new fish is a longfin version of the very popular Snow Storm Clownfish. As Manny aquarists know, longfin clownfish are not new to the hobby, but Sea & Reef's new Longfin Clownfish have a much different look to them. Their longfin clownfish have long flowing fins with a rounded, more even outlines. This sets them apart from the typical longfin strain that display jagged, stiff fins with uneven edges that are often observed. Marine Biologist, Soren Hansen, observed with great excitement the very first batch of Longfin Mocha Storm Clownfish as they went through metamorphosis and grew their beautiful, even-edged fins. https://bit.ly/newsJeremy169 Main Topic: EPMD no wait it's AEFW but we are Strictly Business with the info in this episode and the plans we have for treating these no-nonsense pests. Coral aquaculture is ever increasing around the world for reef restoration and the hobby. The effort to minimize the impact of coral predators, pathogens and parasites is necessary for optimal growth. We are going to discuss the Acropora coral-eating polyclad flatworm (AEFW), which feeds on wild and cultivated Acropora species. Recent studies have found the presence of AEFW in wild Acropora colonies, new studies are taking place on the possible affects. The inadvertent introduction of this pest into our reef tanks can lead to the rapid death of coral colonies. We will discuss treatment of infested corals, the flatworm's life cycle, how to disrupt said life cycle, and how temperature can affect your treatment plan. We have outlined a few plans that can help. It is good amount of work but it is worth it to save your Acros!

Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease in Dry Tortugas National Park

Sad news to report on corals today – Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease—an infectious, water-borne disease that impacts hard coral species and damages entire reefs—has been found on corals in Dry Tortugas National Park. Until now, Dry Tortugas National Park was the only remaining section of Florida’s Coral Reef without the disease. While doing a routine survey on May 29, the park’s Coral Response Team observed the telltale white lesions (see photos). The team immediately applied the most effective treatment available, an antibiotic paste, to the infected corals. As of now, the disease appears to be concentrated to just one area near the southeastern boundary of the park, approximately 2.5 miles east from Garden Key, where Fort Jefferson is located. The last survey on May 6 showed no evidence
