Coral porn lol...That was the main part of the 30 min documentary,it was pretty cool watching what turned out to be what they call "A coral-spawn slick" the stretches for hundreds of miles and sometimes thousands..:eek2:

It did have some other cool stuff in it though,the usual GBR protection and pollution stuff(nature and man made) and had a pretty cool segment on Zooxanthella and how it is everything for corals of all types..

But what I liked was the extreme close up video of Zooxanthella in action,kinda looks like the macro pictures people post here of the awesome looking Chalice coral,but in motion..I only wish this was a longer Doc..

I'll keep a eye out Gary,what stinks about PBS shows are most are shown with no promotion and it is almost impossible to know when they will show again
