Well the title says it all. I just learned about this after watching Marks video on Mr. Saltwater Tank TV. This is a bummer in multiple ways. The main being the fact that our Ocean's reefs are still dying. Is there any good thing about this though? I think so. Even though there are a few more restrictions on what corals we are allowed to keep, it means that the Governments are starting to pick up on the fact that we truly do need to protect the reefs that we have. The coral that may come as a bit of a surprise is the branching frogspawn.
