Most people don't know it but the introduction of this algae into the
Mediterranean was done by a public aquarium not hobbyists many of the other releases
can be traced back to public aquariums with enough surety to make them
suspects. Of course everyone likes the killer algae from hobbyist hell theme and
there might be some truth in to it in some cases but not all.
