Life reconstruction of Sollasina cthulhu. (Credit: Elissa Martin, Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History) The fossilized remains of a 430 million-year-old sea creature that had tentacles longer than its body have been found in Herefordshire, Britain. Given the name Sollasina cthulhu, due to its resemblance to the fictional Cthulhu sea beast thought of by American author H.P. Lovecraft, the creature was significantly smaller than the fictional monster, but perhaps just as scary to other sea creatures alive at the time. “Although the fossil is just 3 [centimers]wide, its many long tentacles would have made it appear quite monstrous to other small sea creatures alive at the time,” a press release describing the find reads. “It is thought that these tentacles, or ‘tube feet’, were used by Afishionado | Apr 13, 2019 | Events, Tanks, Video

If you happen to be the owner of a reef aquarium hosting live corals, there’s a good chance you also own a powerhead. If you don’t, well, you better get one (or two, or more…) because there is no reef tank on this planet that looks good without proper water... by ReefBum | Apr 11, 2019 | Science, Video
Back in the “old” days when I purchased SPS I did so at my Local Fish Store (LFS). It was great to swing by every so often, usually on a Saturday, pick up some corals and talk reef with the owner and fellow reef keepers. For the most part the selection consisted of wild colonies and some maricultured colonies. But things changed when hobbyists started selling and trading frags. Online forums such as Reefcentral.com became a popular place to sell and buy frags and eventually vendors got into the act on the interweb. A new virtual shopping experience was born. Today I still like to visit fish stores since there is no substitute for picking out corals in person. Frags swaps are also a great way by Afishionado | Apr 10, 2019 | Corals, Events, Video
