[Cnidaria] work on a cnidarian garners a Nobel Prize

[Masahiko Sakaguchi]

Hi, Rob. I'm happy to hear the news.
I am sorry that workers on cnidarian do not permit to  use GFP techniques 
fully as compared with workers on other animals (Drosophila, mouse, etc.).

And I want for you to see the following article.
