Scientists are exploring the mechanisms by which a substance derived ultimately from Red Sea coral could help treat skin cancer.

Viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) is a highly contagious disease of rainbow trout in fresh water, causing great economic loss in the European trout farming industry. Researchers can now explain why some seawater-isolated VHS virus are unable to infect rainbow trout.

Marine biologists are working to discover why they've headed north from their traditional homes off South America.

While this discussion is by no means an exhaustive list of worthy species nor a complete guide for aquarium husbandry, it is hoped that the descriptions and images of the creatures herein featured arouse a greater interest in this highly rewarding art.

Terry discusses tips on acclimation, nutrition, supplements, the immune system, and medication for Aquarists.

Terry starts out the new column by talking about tank selection.

Some reef aquaria 'experts' have suggested that we understand all we need to know about lighting of reef aquaria. This article will suggest otherwise.

Very little you can do actually.
Just numb yourself to the that area.

Twenty years ago, the oil tanker Exxon Valdez was exiting Alaska's Prince William Sound when it struck a reef in the middle of the night. What happened next is considered one of the nation's worst environmental disasters: 10.8 million gallons of crude oil spilled into the pristine Alaskan waters, eventually covering 11,000 square miles of ocean.

As a fast and efficient means of transport, jellyfish-like organisms could play a major role in the marine carbon cycle. Marine biologists report that dead bodies of the marine organism Pyrosoma atlanticum may be transporting much more carbon to the seafloor than phytoplankton or other jellyfish-like creatures.

Scientists have described a new species of red algae (Leptofauchea coralligena) in the western Mediterranean. This is the only species of the Leptofauchea genus currently known to be in the Mediterranean.

It is a Eunice worm. And its still a baby. What do you want it for??
-
A nearly complete collection of genes for a species of reef-building coral has been assembled. The scientists will use the genetic data to understand natural variations in corals from around the world and how they respond, at the genetic level, to rising water temperatures.
-
The mouth parts of the phantom midge are microscopic. But in the hands of scientists these midge bones become a time machine that can document 200 years of acidification and fish elimination in Swedish lakes.
-
Sediments released by many of the world's largest river deltas to the global oceans have been changed drastically in the last 50 years, largely as a result of human activity.
-
Scientists have documented the first known migration of blue whales from the coast of California to areas off British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since the end of commercial whaling in 1965.

Yikes. Makes my skin crawl!
FYI, that's not the suspect. It's confirmed a fish killer.
-
Scientists have proposed a set of basic rules to help save the world's imperiled coral reefs from ultimate destruction. "The catastrophic decline in the world's coral reefs demands urgent management responses on two fronts," say the researchers.

There are different types of worms including those that stay small. If these worms come out only in the dark and wriggle in the water column, they should be harmless.
Assuming they ARE bristleworms...
Good = food for fish, when larger good for scavenging dead fish, uneaten food and helping to turn over the top layer of your DSB.
Bad = bristles in your hands, larger worms may become nuisance predators depending on species.
-
They may be bristleworm spawn. Its both good and bad, depending on how you see it!
My latest addition....
in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)

.... now I need to find a 10000000000 gallon tank....
Its a joke of course... Save the Whale Sharks!!!!
