    Tiny Damselfish May Destroy A Caribbean Reef

    Pretty interesting. The funny thing is on the same page there was also a story about the invading lionfish that have started breeding in the Caribbean. They originally came from some that escaped or were released from an aquarium, as lionfish are not a Caribbean species. I was just thinking, perhaps the lionfish will end up taking care of these damsels!

    Reminds me of how powerful a single mosquito can be when it gets under your netting...
