I’ve posted quite a bit about shipwrecks and just how fascinating they are. Not just for their history and the stories of the people who traveled aboard them, but for their tendency to become reefs – and given their construction – to become very... by AquaNerd | Sep 13, 2017 | Aquaculture, Fish
Quality Marine just announced the arrival of yet another new aquacultured species: the Bluestripe Pipefish (Doryrhamphus excisus). Their unique appearance and useful predatory habits, combined with a vibrant blue and orange coloration has made them a popular aquarium species, especially for seahorse and low nutrient SPS aquariums.  Aquacultured species and short supply chains are essential for the long term viability of our trade and for the health of our oceans, making this successful captive breeding all the more important.  Additionally with the recent news about Hawaiian fishery closure, this is a bit more positive news for our hobby. In the wild, Bluestripe Pipefish inhabit rocky crevices in lagoons and reefs of depth from 6 feet – 147 feet (2 to 45 meters) and they range all throughout the waters of by Marcin Smok | Sep 13, 2017 | Industry, MACNA, Supplements, Tanks

For the past few years, both at MACNA and other shows, I’ve admired the excellent craftsmanship and pure beauty of the... by Joe Rowlett | Sep 11, 2017 | Invertebrates, Science
The Chambered Nautilus is one of the ocean’s most iconic living fossils, belonging to a lineage which has remained virtually unchanged since the Cretaceous. Still, no animal can truly remain the same over such a vast expanse of time; the process of speciation must... by Admin | Sep 11, 2017 | Photography, Reef
I spend a fair amount of time underwater, pointing my camera at one thing or another, with varying degrees of success. Like many divers, I will explore shipwrecks when the opportunity arises, and like most photographers, I seem to have quite a collection of propeller...
