[Zoaelite]

I think the term there using now-a-days is Ocean Acidification, its a sad topic but there has been a fair amount of reseach put into play and it looks like the increase in atmospheric CO2 is really causing some problems for small inverts and the develpment of there carbonate shells. One thing is for sure, something has to be done or we could be looking at some pretty white reefs right away here .
