Further to that, what gets me is whether or not what is written, and what one is reading, is accurate and valid.
Case in point....the following I copied and pasted from the above article excerpt.
Quote:
....study after study after study has found that corals such as Acropora
are highly efficient predators.....
Predator? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think so. I'm still quite new to alot of reefkeeping aspects and I have not kept SPS yet, but I find it hard to believe that
Acropora actually prey on their food. For starters, they're sessile. I don't know..... Maybe I don't understand the definition of predator, but I have thought up to now that predation kind of involves some sort of movement and stalking.
As I said...makes me wonder how much of what one reads is accurate.
Just a thought.
