    THIS IS IMPORTANT. WE ALL NEED TO COMMENT ON THIS RIGHT NOW!!!

    http://www.masna.org/Blog/tabid/430/EntryId/74/MASNA-Response-to-ESA-Listing-for-82-Coral-Species-coming-today.aspx

    http://www.masna.org/Blog/tabid/430/EntryId/75/MASNA-submits-its-response-to-the-proposed-ESA-listings-of-multiple-corals.aspx

    I just got off the phone with Murray. This bill/legislation or whatever it is basically would outlaw the keeping, selling, or trading of any stony coral.

    You need to submit your comment on this form, ASAP - April 5th is the deadline

    http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=NOAA-NMFS-2010-0036-0469

    This thing would classify most stony corals (pretty much all, because what DNR guy is going to know what acropora is what, really?) as endangered species. This is all based on very poor studies, specifically chosen because they are poor so that their conclusions can be drawn.

    POST COMMENTS IMMEDIATELY. THIS EFFORT IS NOT BASED ON SUFFICIENT DATA. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY DECIMATE OUR INDUSTRY.

    I have submitted my comment, have you? This is important so please please take the time to do this. E-mail them this morning before 11:00 our time. You can also snail mail them but they should be postmarked with today's date. If you enjoy keeping a reef tank this will effect you!!!!!!
