Amazing. I wonder if they'll be different species that are adapted to the murk?

Cool find. Hope any oil exploration won't ruin it!

I want an Amazon reef tank. I have reefs near where I live in New York - coldwater and nonphotosynthetic, but reefs. Noone talks about them either. Can't wait to see pics of this one

Wonder if they will stop the drilling of the oil or just say screw the reef.

From the article it sounds impressive the reef managed to survive under those conditions, although im also guessing the sediment must be providing a lot of nutrients for them...

Would have been nice to see some pics of the reef and hopefully it wont slowly die out like the Great Barrier Reef in Oz...

Shows how corals can really adapt.

Pretty neat, hopeful conservation efforts will be successful. I hate to the the oil companies ruin it.
