I am a bit of a Marxist–Leninist–Maoist

And the 20th century is replete with how well that philosophy works out every. single. time. it’s tried. But yes, lol, by all means.

Really, the only reason why you have had fed Tangs is because there are somewhat healthy populations on reefs around the world, that are performing the same very important job on the reef as in your aquarium, protecting coral from being overrun with algae. Healthy populations in the future.....a gloomy outlook. Just Sayn

So let’s start by having you do your part - sell your tank, close your account on this poisonous forum that promotes pillaging mother earth’s magnificent reefs.

Fantastic.... I will immediately free my fish and apologize to the tangs that are eating from my hand. They must be so stressed.......

Do this now to purge yourself of the filthy Karma that clings to your existence like a layer of hot mulm. “Explore the space” and awaken your inner good person, before the ecosystem collapse takes us all into eternal judgement for kicking Gaia in the birthing canal.
Follow your heart.

In the end, who gets to survive is not up to the people or the government but it’s for those it was designed for. Life emanates without our effort or intervention or wishes.

I will now bathe myself in the waters of lake Minnetonka.

Every once in a while I need a thread like this to remind me that most people on this site are Americans.

Then may I suggest terminating you account, for if the bulk of the site is comprised of unrefined, uneducated dolts who don’t rise to your level of nuance, education, culture and global awareness, it offers nothing of benefit to such a refined soul such as yourself. God’s speed Sir, I hope you find a site with people more tolerable and compatible to your evolved needs.

Time series of Grecian Rocks coral reef​

The stony corals are gone!!!!

As disturbing as these images are, they have NOTHING to do with coral or fish collection. The result you see in these pictures are from global warming, coral disease from human sewage, fertilizer run off and high DOC's.
Are you trying to pass off that these images are the result of the aquarium trade?

Tourists from the Midwest, standing up on a 300 year old brain coral to fix their snorkel and mask in John Pennekamp State Park...... conservation?

I really don't get your point here. Only to re-enforce the fact that education is lacking.
But an interesting fact is I went to high school in the midwest, I was a C/D level student, not that I couldn't achieve a higher grade, it just didn't interest me. School bored me I did just what it took to pass. I then spent a year going to high school in Miami. I turned into a straight A student. Wow, one might say, how did I turn my education around? I didn’t. If I turn a paper in, I got an A. If I showed up for class I got an A. I got so many A's I got put in AP classes. They were more concerned about dress codes and the "six inch rule" than guns or drugs in schools. They gave out A's like participation trophies.
So maybe the tourist standing on the coral might have been a local.
