HO LEE COW, read some of Dentoid's link to the "elegance coral theory".
Geez, very energetic discussion.
Beginner questions (no, Doc, I'm not getting one!!), think of this as coming from a student: Apparently at some point it was discovered that a protozoan was thought to be attacking and killing elegances? And has since been debated? Is this out in the wide world or is it an aquarists' problem?
There was a lot of debate on how they react to light and water quality. Has anyone gotten into ocean pollution as an overall issue with these guys over time or am I too off point there?
I like to read this kind of stuff, scientists and experts debating issues like why elegances aren't doing so well in recent years as compared to "former" years (am I correct in this?) and I like to think of the (possibly fictional) guy who got stranded on a desert island with only eggs to eat for many years. When he was rescued, his cholesterol was tested and it was normal. An example of how the body adapts. Can this apply to elegances? All these tests and theories and individuals react based on their individual makeups, thereby "screwing up" data?
