"It appears the corals that form such important parts of marine ecosystems harbor many different viruses – particularly herpes. And although they don't get runny noses or stomach upset, corals also are home to the adenoviruses and other viral families that can cause human colds and gastrointestinal disease."

So, siphoning tank water the old fashion way might be a bad idea

My corals are a little promiscuous... I better sit them down and have a talk with them about the birds and the bees.

Most animals can contract herpes. One of my cats has it. It has a different affect on him, than the virus does on humans.

It didn't used to be this way.

Some doofus tried a new method of carbon dosing. Now look what happened.
