News
Jeremy- New deep-water coral discovered. Psammogorgia pax, collected at a depth of 63 meters (207 feet) in Hannibal Bank -- a flat-topped seamount located in Coiba National Park, a biodiversity hotspot and World Heritage Site, is part of an unexplored and understudied marine ecosystem: the mesophotic coral communities. These difficult-to-access habitats, found 40 -- 150 meters deep and in-between shallow-water reefs and deep-water corals, are under increasing need for protection, yet little is known about their ecology and biodiversity.

Peter- Purple Sea Urchins or Strongylocentrotus purpuratus are eating their way through the underwater kelp forests in California and now moving north towards Oregon. A recent count found 350 million purple sea urchins on one Oregon reef alone more than a 10,000% increase since 2014. And in Northern California, 90% of the giant bull kelp forests have been devoured by the urchins.

Chalice coral consist of a large collection of coral that what were until recently considered part of the now abolished family Pectiniidae. With the changing landscape of the taxonomy and such a large grouping of coral we will be generalizing the care requirements a bit more than usual. Although classification may be an issue there is still a lot to talk about with these stunning additions to our reef tanks. Intense colors and patterns make these showstoppers a must have.
