Edward Kowalski says:
if your getting corals to use, one option to try could be crushing the coral in a mortar and pestle and then adding it to a mix to include the "flavor" of a coral which could trigger a feeding response. I think that the odor/scent of the food item can be a missed opportunity in acclimating some animals.elizami2 says:

This is true bullshit. If there is a problem with reefs around Hawaii, the main thread has to be banned. That is global warming and acidizing and pollution the ocean. After you banned this above, you may consider a ban against aquaroum trade. Only dumbasses like Umberger, who target a weak ememy, with the help of fairy tale fotos of dead fish, make a win out of this. Congratulations for your President, who thinks nehotiation of global warming solves the problem. May the increasing hurricans wipe out the pollutant inhabitants of Hawaii and preserve the reefs for future access of aquaristsJohn R Prescott says:
Would like to buy your latest issue on Acropora. How do I do so? Have offered a few times to ask if you can be interested in distribution of your magazine in the uK and ireland. We have contacts throughout the industry, and are building a multispecies hatchery which will be selling to ALL quality stores. Dr.J.R.PrescottJennifer says:
I am not saying this is right or wrong but the strong reactions make me wonder how many people realize that so many of today's very common dogs breeds started out as "un-natural genetics that should be banned". We should not be surprised that high demand creates a market for this...it's human nature.christianzh11 says:
