Oh man I missed most of it, I forgot when it was on. Set the timer for tomorow! I saw a really cool show on the science channel one night, it was all about fish and inverts that live real deep in the ocean, and they we're the coolest looking things I've ever seen...lemme see if I can find it on thier site.

i saw it it was pretty interesting and we think we have predetor problems.
i wonder if there theroy of fertilzers running off into the ocean is the cause of the increased population is correct. it does make sence that the increase in algea cells could increase the survival rate of the crown of thorns in early stages of life allowing alot more of them to make to adults.
if you didn t see it these starfish mow down corals reefs (great barrier reef) they invert their stomach around the coral and suck the life right out of the coral.
they are multiplying at a massive rate since the 60s and it appears it is a direct effect due to farming and the fertilizers they use that run off into the ocean. the fertilizers contain high amount of nitrogen and phosphorus perfect for algea blooms. this is the claim they made on the show

I just picked up coral reef adventures. It was the Imax film, Not too bad, worth checking out.
