Just goes to show how little research has actually been done on eating habits of SPS, or even corals in general.
Snappy, I have my website on a server that is down, even if it wasn't all it is, is a work in progress, one day maybe I will finish it, and one day I might even start making things again.. until then I have a few things to finish building for a guy in town and a few for myself then my page might get finished.
