Bryopsis algae

Ah Lance you missed my point. Not that it matters. Nor do I care about fair comparison as sometimes the easiest to identify with is that which is in your own backyard. Never did I mention a reef. What I said was even the ocean has its ups and downs, and apparently using Maine as an example was too close to home. But it is a fact that even the pristine waters of the worlds reefs suffer from change to their environment. Actually Lance, to point out the subliminal, my entire post was about balance and patience. Balance by definition could certainly be said to be, static. But like I said, that was just my opinion, and I could be wrong.
