Fritz0id3937 January 2, 2015 Share January 2, 2015 I was visiting family in SF and I was excited to see the 200,000 reef at the steinhart aquarium. But almost all their corals were dead or dying. Almost everything was covered in blankets of cyano/purple slime. The only stuff living seems to be a bunch of rbtas, a few montis and some leathers. Anyone know what happened or what they plan on doing about it? Sad to see some many large colonies dead. More like just a big fowlr tank. Tons of cool fish though.

Fritz0id3937 January 2, 2015 Author Share January 2, 2015 I asked a worker/volunteer there about it. He had no idea until I pointed it out, even tho he was giving a talk about the "reef." I wish they posted a sign or some info about it. It was really sad. Hopefully they relocated a bunch or took clippings at least. It was just all purple/red slime pretty much.
