Lab raised coral larvae, beats for the reefs and go rabbit go rabbit go. This week Jeremy has made a bit of progress in prepping the tub to move the remainder of rockover to the big tank and pulled a ton of algae. Peter is nearly ready to make some very nice and very nicely planned upgrades. All this and more on Episode 91 of the Reef News Network.

In this video we explore one approach, which aims to replenish damaged reefs using using coral larvae bred in the lab. Listener shoutout to Rasmus Johansson http://bit.ly/newsPeter91 https://go.nature.com/33KKFs5 Jeremy- Young fish can be drawn to degraded coral reefs by loudspeakers playing the sounds of healthy reefs, according to new research published today in Nature Communications. This one came in from a number of listeners so here is a shout out to Reef News Wifey Laurie C, Heather Macwhinnie and Josh O Thanksy'all. http://bit.ly/newsJeremy91 Tip of the Week Keep your hands out of the tank as much as possible. Let your tank do it's thing. This will reduce the amount oils from your hands that are introduced to the tank. Main Topic: Go Rabbit, Go Rabbit, GO... Rabbitfish and Foxface are awesome options for reef tanks. They are prodigious grazers, peaceful tankmates, interesting to observe, fairly affordable and a bit outside the usual suspects for a reef tank. All of these characteristics make them ideal for the reefer looking for a unique addition to their system.

Scientists are Studying the Biological Relationship Between Corals and Marine Bacteria

by | Nov 9, 2019 | Corals, Reef, Science

The relationship between bacteria and Corals has recently become a hot topic on Reef2Reef as a result of a research paper recently published in the Nature journal. The study estimates that about 1/3 of all corals worldwide are infected with this newly discovered bacterium which researchers named,Candidatus Aquarickettsia rohweri. The bacterium can be found in a number of corals that we commonly keep in our aquariums including, Acropora, Goniopora, Montipora, Seriatopora and Stylophora species. Additionally, it can also be found in anemones. Researches also discovered the bacterium can be transmitted through coral eating parasitic snails and transported through seawater whereby it can potentially infect corals where tissue damage is present. Corals that are infected with Candidatus Aquarickettsia rohweri exhibit little to no growth. Researchers hypothesize the

In the Water with Oceanic Whitetips

Having just returned from a scuba diving trip, I thought I’d continue to share some images, and in this case, some video. Normally I’d be sharing images of coral reefs and the creatures that live on and amidst the coral, but this time I thought I’d offer some video of...
