CORAL BONUS: ECC's Nexus Burst Bubble Tip Anemone
Eye Catching Coral’s (ECC) newest anemone cultivar is a riotous spectacle of color. Furthermore, no two are ever alike, making them truly one-of-a-kind works of biological art. Featured in our Reef Visions Column (CORAL Magazine July/August 2020), we knew that there was no way to convey the back story of this remarkable cnidarian in just few short sentences.

Matt, thank you for supplying the links. I will most definitely read them carefully. Dan, I’m sorry if my comments got under your skin. Trust that I will follow this story attentively. (Also, I suspect that we both voted for same candidate and, even if we didn’t, I love you just the same.)Rob says:

I think that this is the right time to invest in more and better ways to breed marine fish. Would be great to someday have captive bred marine fish available for all of the popular species of fish currently being collected. I for one would love to see the day when no marine fish are caught in the wild and only captive bred fish are available and necessary for the aquarium hobby. Our oceans are already suffering in a huge way and many coral reefs are already at the brink of devastation. We need to find ways to repair our oceans and increase the types and availability of captive bred marine fish.Emmeline Marie Suzanne Burritt says:
When you use soil in those mini pots for submersion, is it only ''aquasoil'' which safe for fish? This soil is very expensive, or is gravel alone and sufficient to support the plants? The idea is to have the roots absorb nutrients from the water to purify, I understand.Emmeline Marie Suzanne Burritt says:
