Here are some fluorescence shots of our GREEN CORALS under blue light.In fluorescence, short-wave blue light is absorbed by certain pigments of the coral and is immediately emitted with a slightly longer wavelength. So this is not a reflection of the light by the coral, but actually a transformation, from [...]
This small but fine nano tank of approximately 60 litres was installed in May 2015 and has been running stably ever since. It contains 16 different species of corals, mostly stony corals, which have been growing in it since the beginning, with a few exceptions. It has been designed so [...]
The “Coral Express” direct to your home – how about one of 12 different coral frag-Packages?? Prices include express delivery of live animals! […]
We were there for the first time with our corals. In fact, it was the first fair where live animals were sold. So the "run" on our corals was rather modest... As a result, the orientation was changed slightly to: "Stroke the hermit crab" or something like that ;-) [...]
Our microscope workshops are a great experience for children from 5 years, and they serve to develop interest and respect for nature.“Ugh” and “Yuck” were yesterday. The fear of contact must be overcome, because only then one can understand and build love for nature.Through patient observation and understanding – you [...]
On 14.11. the 26th Info Day took place at "das aquarium" in Hamburger Straße, Brunswig. From 11.00 to 14.00 marine biologist Stephan Moldzio gave a microscopy course for children. A total of 22 children took part in the 40-minute sessions. At the beginning there was a short introduction on [...]
On 10 and 11 October a coral identification workshop with Russell Kelley, author of the" Indopacific Coral Finder" took place in the "Haus der Wissenschaft" in Braunschweig. Russell Kelley is a geologist, science communicator and founder of the "Coral Identification Capacity Building Program" (CICBP), which aims to empower [...]
Have a look at the beautiful fluorescing corals of Marsa Nakari under blue light. Most colonies have opened their polyps, ready to catch some plankton at night… But we also met some other nocturnal predators like the Great Barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) and the Horned Helmet (Cassis cornuta). Like to learn [...]
During our Reef Check activities in june 2015, our friend Ahmed M. Shawky, marine biologist, ranger and environmental researcher of the Wadi El Gemal National Park, made a guided tour with us through his national park.It was a fantastic trip and Ahmed took us to some really unique places we [...]
