Plankton – zooplankton and phytoplankton – getting to know them
In this second section I will refer to the particulate components that are produced by the rising deep currents, this component we call Plankton.

The earth surface is 71% covered by salt water and as we all know, between the parallels above and below the equator up to the 23 °26 ‘we have the greatest presence of coral structures and all the closely related organisms.
Introduction by Danilo Ronchi: Massimo Morpurgo, biologist, aquarium curator at the Natural Science Museum of Bolzano, talks to us about palytoxin: cures, remedies and problems that they can cause to those who come in contact with it. Massimo has been one of the main researchers in Italy who studied this intoxication phenomenon. Let’s now give the floor to Massimo Morpurgo.
When we speak about bacteria in the aquarium, often we know just a few things of these microorganisms. We often hear about methods for bacterial reproduction, but what does it mean? What are the positive and the negative aspects of it?
During my last problem on my tank, as you could have read here “my tank has got a big problem” I noticed one amphipod trapped between glass and silicone… which better moment to take a picture of this small animal?
Yes, the background was completely black and it’s not helped me to take e perfect picture, but you also need to consider that amphipod was 2 mm long, and here I show you in 1:1 magnify… I think the picture is quite good, don’t you?

Il Myrionema amboinense (anche conosciuto come amboeniensis) è un idrozoo originario dell’Oceano Atlantico dell’Ovest, scoperto per la prima volta da Pictet nel 1893. Per noi acquariofili è divenuto tristemente importante in quanto si è caratterizzato come una delle peggiori pesti presenti in acquario.

Lotta per la sopravvivenza fra Myrionema e Pocillopora
The Myrionema amboinense (also known as amboeniensis) is an hydroid, order od hydrozoa, originating in the Atlantic West, first discovered in 1893 by Pictet. For us it has become sadly mportant since it is characterized as one of the worst pests in the aquarium.

Qualche giorno fa ho beccato il mio Lysmata amboinensis che si faceva guardare e così ne ho approfittato per fare qualche scatto… e già che c’ero ho fotografato un paio di corallini che mi ritrovavo in vasca, per vedere tutte le foto cliccate sul link in basso…

A few days ago I took some pictures to my Lysmata amboinensis who was watching me… I think it’s worth a look at.
and so I took some other pictures about some corals I have…
Pensate sia facile individuare il granchio? Io so dov’è… ma voi lo vedete???
Where is the crab into the photo? It seems easy but…
Lysmata amboinensis – Pacific scarlet cleaner shrimp (skunk cleaner shrimp)
Il mio personale punto di vista – my personal point of view 🙂
Quanto possono essere belle le Tridacne?
Io ne ho due, sono due Maxime. Una ha più di 6 anni, mentre l’altra ne ha quasi uno.
Questa è quella più anziana che si merita la vetrina 🙂
Mentre questa è la più giovane
ma non perdetevi questa vista… letteralmente DENTRO LA TRIDACNA
How beautiful are giant clams? I love, as I love so many reef organisms.
In the images above you can see my 2 Tridacna Maxima. The first is the oldest, more than 6 years now, and the other is about one years old now.
And the last image I think is amazing! INSIDE TRIDACNA.
