I'm not a reef tank nerd*, but I've watched enough nature documentaries to recognise the different "plants" for what they really were. The entire flora and fauna of Pandora just felt cheap to me, since basically all they'd done was to take a bunch of Earth animals (horses, rhinos, wolves, etc.), tweaked them a bit, and called the result alien. I get that the audience needs some kind of reference point, something to relate to, but, yeah. They could've done more.
*Although I do have a scuba diving certificate now, even if I still can't quite believe it. I need to go back to the Red Sea some day, with tubes instead of just a snorkel...
