    We watch it also and it was very interesting. And was prime example of why aquarium owner need to be extremely care and more responsible on making sure not to release thing back into the wild. Thanks Ace Did you see the oceans bottom. I love those shows.

    it was pretty interesting, and you are right about us being VERY careful about releasing things into the wild. even if it is an endemic species, if it has been in contact in any way with exotics, it should not be released. period.

    i havent seen that other show (that i know of)

    Was this the show that talkes about the Caulerpa starving out all the native macro? In California I think?
