Nick,

That is really sad to see. Unfortunately this is happening all over right now (decline in coral reefs) in the wild. It is very possible that our grandchildren - or even children will never see a living wild coral reef.

yah, it is a little sad to face the reality of it. I guess the best thing to do is to continue to only buy captive bred/propagated coral. Its disheartening because the only thing that can save the corals now is themselves. Even if the huge negative role people and the environment play, were changed, i dont think it would be soon enough to alter the rapid decline. Hopefully life will find a way. Does this mean prices in propagated coral will sky rocket?
