Here is a fun little animated video which tells the amusing story of how corals live and what happens when reef ecosystems suffer from coral bleaching. If you have kids who are always asking questions about your reef tank, now is the time to gather them around the monitor for a kid-style explanation of coral bleaching, symbiosis, and the importance of ‘Zukes’ (zooxanthellae) to the life and growth of corals.This reminds us a lot of the ‘Don’t risk it, dip it‘ cartoon put on by CoralRX a couple years back – now if we could just get ESV or Seachem to put one together about the interplay between calcium and alkalinity and another one on water flow we’d have almost a complete animated guide to keeping corals alive in aquariums.
