About the Cover
Looking for a little change of pace in your reef tank? The magnificent specimen on our cover is a sun coral Tubastraea sp., photographed in the wild. As nonphotosynthetic cnidarians, sun corals require careful feeding but can thrive under just about any lighting, from dim to reef-bright. With the proper care they can make a striking display, as Bill Rosser explains in this month's issue (p. 80).

Tip of the Month:
That mudskippers, those amphibious gobies that scurry around on the shore and climb mangrove roots to get insects, cannot breathe air? They carry water in a pouch around their gills, keeping those organs wet, so they can continue to extract oxygen---sort of "wet-dry gills"!
