I invite anyone to find a shred of evidence in this CNN article that supports its ridiculous headline.
Seagrass meadows will continue to decline globally until the root causes are addressed - pollution, dredging, climate change.
Robots, FFS.

Hey, I know there are quite a few ocean science & diver furries out there and I read in this article that they need help tracking if their planting is working, maybe some divers n students would like to help monitor/work with?

Just added to our WYSIWYG: this beautiful “loose” Fungia! They are fairly easy to keep LPS corals.
Best part? As always, this coral (and every one of our corals for sale) is protected by our strict quarantine protocols and fully aquacultured in house. Have room in your tank? (It’s ~1")
