Jeremy- Cool cardinalfish sighting! According to Dynasty Marine, this species is rarely encountered due to its nocturnal behavior. It's worth noting that this cardinalfish, like its relatives, is presumably a paternal mouthbrooder that could spawn clutches several hundred in number (a potential breeding project for someone aspiring to break ground with a new species). With a little bit of luck, the intrepid aquarist looking for something a little different might be able to find some Whitestar Cardinalfish in the trade right now! Check out the full article over on Reefs 2 Rainforests.

Peter- With the sponsor pointing to concerns about skin cancer, a Senate committee Monday approved a measure that would prevent local governments from banning over-the-counter sales of sunscreen. The Senate Community Affairs Committee voted 3-1 to approve the bill, which stems, at least in part, from a decision by Key West to ban certain types of sunscreen because of concerns that chemicals in the substances were damaging coral reefs.

Tip of the Week:
Marc Levevenson posted a cool thing from a vendor at the show he attended last week and it would be a cool add on for the Fragger's guide. The vendor brought photos of her grow out / display systems with PAR values next to each colony. This is a great reference point for buyers.
