Strange story about corals and viruses...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,284920,00.html


I thought this was amazing, "in only a milliliter of ocean water (about one-fifth of a teaspoon) there are about one million bacteria and 10 million viruses." There were lots of little things in that article that were interesting. No. 1 killer was organic carbon? I wonder how this information would affect the way we keep corals at home. It reminds me of the sugar/vodka trick and using them to affect bacterial blooms. What do you guys think?

i think the corals should practice safe sex to avoid these viruses.
