Sorry about the lame subject, but seriously, do not miss this show.
I'm only 30 minutes into it, but this show is so much better than any other Coral Reef show I've seen.
The images and information is fantastic.

See it.

I saw it tonight and I have to agree, it is the best reef show I have ever seen.

I agree it is a very good show. But the best show I've seen on Discovery HD about coral reefs was a hour long show about the Okinawa Reef systems. It was spectacular, I just can't remember what it was exactly called. It aired in October of 2005.

Not to cause a debate, but I saw the Okinawa show a couple times. Not nearly as graphic and informative, for our purposes, as this Equator Show.
The information about Acroporas, the relationship between the coral and free swimming algae forming the Zoox was incredible. The images of other reef shows are just glimpses compared to the endless Giant Plate corals shown here. Some of the corals look like 12 foot diameter Efflos. I guess a lot of them are other types of Tables. It's a wonder that Tables and Efflos aren't less expensive for us, they seem abundent. Maybe it's the colors involved.

And how about the way the guy pronounced Acropora?

yeah I wondered that do I pronounce it wrong

I agree Hef the okinawa show was pretty cool, but the Equator show was fantastic! Hands down the best show I have seen on coral reefs as of yet.

Saw it this afternoon. Great show. I can't wait to order it once it comes out on DVD.

Took me a while to figure out what he was talking about, acropora and algae.
