Hawaii Government Senate Bill SB 1240 has just gained momentum, which means that it is crucial that we act NOW. The bill focuses on Hawaii’s Aquarium Fisheries; its stated purpose is to “Prohibit the department [of land and natural resources] from issuing... by Admin | May 5, 2017 | Invertebrates, Photography
I think that if I were to see a featherstar, I could be easily coned into believing that they had just been discovered by a NASA space probe in some distant extra-terrestrial ocean on Europa or another far-flung... by Joe Rowlett | May 4, 2017 | Fish
At first glance, this darkly colored tang might not seem like anything particularly special, but it’s probably one of the rarest hybrids to enter the aquarium trade. It was collected in Hawaii and is said to be one of just a handful of its kind to have ever been... by Admin | May 4, 2017 | Fish, Photography
I’ve just returned from a trip to the Maldives, and I’m armed with a few memory cards full of fish; but I’m not entirely sure what they are. I’m going to share them, because I think they’re fairly good snaps, but if the names are wrong, please feel free to let me... by Leonard Ho | May 4, 2017 | Advanced Aquarist

It’s been a while since we’ve had a featured coral of the week and with Reef-A-Palooza Orlando less than week away, we thought it would be nice to feature these Taiwan Zoas that will be available on sale at the Joe the Knows Reefs booth (#612). As you can see from the photo above (as well as the gallery below), Joey Nichols recently acquired some stunning zoanthid polyps from Taiwan.  Considered to be some of the most stunning zoanthid polyps found anywhere, Taiwan zoas come in a variety of colors and color patterns.  Featured this week is the Joe’s Solar Eclipse Zoa and they will be on sale at RAP where $75.00 will get you a 2-3 polyp frag.
