Tonga Volcano

Its a beautiful sight but I can't help but think of all the coral and little buddies down there.

 

I got this article from the NYTimes in my RSS feeds this morning. They said there is no marine life that is closely affected by the volcano. I'm sure there is some, but if there was a reef near by that was affected they would have said so. I believe it is not near the tonga reefs.

 

hey that's good to hear.

 

Here is the NYTimes article.

 

thanks for the link Beaun

 

oh that is good cuz i was like... omg then we will never be able to buy tonga live rock for a long time then lol

 

I know I saw that and said the same thing too Mcfarrow also what about all the sulphur that's putting out. I'm pretty sure the critters haul butt at the first sign of anything different, Other than those in our tanks, They see something different, they head towards it

 

liveaquaria.com posted this on their website:
"The export of live rock originating from Tonga has ceased, and unfortunately we will no longer be offering Tonga Branch Rock, Tonga Slab Rock, and Drs. Foster and Smith Select Lalo Live Rock in the immediate future. We are currently working diligently with suppliers to source quality alternatives from other regions for these styles of rock."
not sure about other online sites that sell tonga rock just noticed it from them.
hope it doesnt last too long
