Lactophrys trigueter (Linnaeus 1758), the Smooth Cowfish. Tropical west Atlantic. To about eighteen inches in length. Two juveniles in Cozumel.

Leptoseris cucullata (Ellis & Solander 1786). Colonies are irregular flat plat plates that have batches of wave-like ridges facing outward from the center, with distinctive thin lines at the outside edge. Corallites point outward. Found in the tropical West Atlantic. Growing back over dead skeleton ala 04' Hurricane Wilma! In Cozumel 4/09.

Rhizophora mangle, the Red Mangrove. Of the many species, indeed families of mangrove trees, this is likely the most commonly utilized by aquarists. Up to 22 meters tall in the wild, capable of breaking the strongest of aquarium construction materials. Most common complaint is loss of magnesium ions (along with sodium pumping), resultant calcium imbalances in closed systems. Keep an eye on Mg concentrations, supplementation. A bioassay is yellow of the tree leaves. Here some nice ones growing out at Dick Perrin's "Tropicorium" in 3/09.
