Fluoroscenes 1 by Coral Morphologic Coral Morphologic presents Fluoroscenes 1 – an album of nine records inspired by the corals’ cosmic ability to synchronize their lives to Earth’s daily rotation around its axis, the Moon’s monthly revolution around Earth, and Earth’s yearly revolution around the Sun. Incorporating NASA audio samples of sounds recorded from our solar system & beyond, Fluoroscenes 1 presents corals as sojourners on a galactic trip around a black hole that humans are still trying to comprehend. The Print Edition features a set of nine 5″ x 5″ photographs, each inspiring one of the records on the album. First edition limited to 23 photo sets, hand numbered & stamped with the Universal Corallimorph logo.

Today’s coral spotlight video is about Clove Polyps of the Genus Clavularia. Clove polyps can be a versatile addition to a number of different tanks. They could work in smaller aquariums looking for a coral to provide motion that is not particularly aggressive to neighbors nor will outgrow the tank in a month. On the other end of the spectrum, you could use the blue clove variety of this coral that runs rampant to create a beautiful blue background for your other corals. I could see this coral working for either beginners or experts in the hobby depending on what they are looking to accomplish. Can you come up with other ways that clove polyps can be used in a reef tank? Post your thoughts below.

The diversity of life never ceases to amaze me! Given the same basic problems of life: getting about in a dense medium, finding a mate, deterring/avoiding predators, and finding a food source, evolution has provided an almost unbelievable variety of fish shapes,... by Leonard Ho | Feb 28, 2018 | Advanced Aquarist
Our friends at AquaA3 share an inspiring story of a fishkeeper's love. Spending $500 to save a $100 fish is only irrational if you view fish as objects. When it comes to animals that rely on you for their well being, you do all that you can. by xeniaforever | Feb 27, 2018 | Conservation, Industry, Sustainability
The success of a local fish store and the success of a town’s high school rests on some very similar factors: involvement with the community, engagement with its “customer base”, whether that’s the school’s students or the shoppers at the... by ReefBum | Feb 27, 2018 | Tanks
A few months ago my tank was spiraling downhill pretty quickly, as I was mysteriously losing a large number of corals, including many LPS colonies and SPS frags. I probably lost 50% of my corals and the ones remaining were not looking good. Common symptoms among the SPS were burnt tips, recession and expulsion of some sort of slime. Polyps on the LPS were retracted and on some the skin was shedding. Things were going to hell in a handbasket very quickly. My parameters seemed ok according to my test kits but something was going on that I had never seen before. I needed to take a closer look so I ordered some Triton ICP tests to get a detailed look at all of the tank’s elements by Admin | Feb 26, 2018 | Fish, Photography, Science
