Product Description

Synopsis
Beautiful, bizarre, and among nature's most colourful creations, living corals are now being successfully kept and grown in a rapidly growing number of home reef aquariums. Designed to help new and experienced aquarists to select the most appropriate corals for their systems and to provide guidance in keeping them healthy for the long term, this all-new book is packed with the advice of a seasoned coral keeper. More than 700 world-class photographs and text reviewed by leading coral biologists and reef aquarists guide the reader through the selection and husbandry of hundreds of species. Included are: soft corals, corallimorpharians (mushroom corals), gorgonians, zoanthids, large-polyp stony corals and small-polyp stony corals - all illustrated with hundreds of brilliant new photographs to aid identification.

First Sentence
Coming home from Woolworth's with my first 10-gallon fish tank, complete with undergravel filter and freshwater angelfish, I had no vision of the day when aquariums and aquarium literature would take over a large part of my life, occupying every available surface and shelf in my home and becoming a passionate fixation for most of my waking hours. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent up to date manual of coral husbandry., 21 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This book is the most up to date manual of coral husbandry I have yet come across. It provides in one volume a valuable guide to a wide range of commonly available corals, saving hours of browsing time on the web (where the best sources on reef keeping are often to be found ).
If you are seriously into reefkeeping I recommend you buy this book , there is so much useful information here that it is hard to review it adequately, perhaps the best thing to say is if I could only have one book on the subject this is it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, a vital addition of reference., 1 Jun 2006
By Mr. N. Harris "Wudan Wilf" (LANCS, UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are a true Aquarium Reef keeper like myself, well simply put, you will not be dissapointed with this book. Highly detailed info on corals (with exceptional pictures), living requirements, advice, selection and background of original enviroment particulary helpful.

Quickly improves your ability in identifying correct corals for both your own ability and aquarium setup.

Very, very good book. Quite popular too. Much cheaper from Amazon than your local aquarium store for sure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lush comprehensive book to whet your appetite, 5 Feb 2008
By Julie Cutler (Sheffield) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
464 pages of glossy photographs of coral anatomy, natural distribution, feeding, with about 300 pages devoted to the individual coral species themselves. I think that aptly sums up why you want to buy this reference book.

There are individual entries on captive care and the author is keen to point out how readily the coral will survive in captivity. He emphasises if there are any problems with the overharvesting of a particular wild species.

I'm just in the planning stage of a marine aquarium and this book is less useful for those wanting to take the first tentative steps towards actually trying coral husbandry. It's more for someone who has already dabbled and wants to know more. It would be very valuable in pointing out issues with individual species before you commit expensive folly at the fish shop.
