YOUR E-MAIL ALERTSWashington DC, US (CNN) -- Late yesterday afternoon (March 31, 2006) the US Geological Survey in conjunction with NOAA issued a ban on all importations of a widely collected coral commonly called Zoanthids (pronounced zo-an-thids). Citing these coral's ability to to produce toxins for which no cure or remedy can be manufactured. Considerations of how to gather specimens currently in the possession of aquariums and hobbyists are now being formulated. A rather smug web designer told CNN he'd manufactured this whole story, live in peace knowing he is smiling his ass off while you read this story. Happy April Fools Day all you Captive Reefers!  Jill Carroll go back
in peace to your friends and family and tell the American people about
what you've seen and heard in the last three months. -- Statement in
