Thanks for the suggestion.

I recently just found out that the green clown goby helps keep corals cleared from algae. This is just some neat info to go along with the photo.

"Hay and Dixson placed turtle weed on small staghorn coral (Acropora nasuta), a common reef-building coral found in the Pacific and Indian oceans, while in the presence of two goby species. The gobies cleaned up quickly: Within three days, 30% of the turtle weed was gone, and coral bleaching dropped by 70-80% compared to a goby-less seaweed invasion."

Thanks. Let's try again. I'm using Microsoft Onedrive Cloud storage and they don't make it easy.

brought to memory of a spring hike up some winding trail and at end of trail a green grass-covered knoll awaits your weary feet to sink into

However, it's fish and inverts this month Mindy :-). I know corals are technically inverts too but for the sake of simplicity I'd like to omit corals this month since last month was coral centric. Thanks :-)

Ohhh sure...you let anemones in on the coral subject because they are coralimorphs, but you don't let corals in on a fish an invert subject even though corals are inverts too...that makes sense, yup.

Oops! Sorry Mindy. I must have mad a mistake somewhere. It wasn't supposed to make any sense whatsoever. My bad!
