Summary: This one is really about corals
Review: An excellent book for every reef aquarists. It's about corals, not like many books out there where you can just read about pumps, skimmers, HQI lamps e all that budgets. Julian teaches us the most important informations we need: the diferences between the needs of each species of corals. This is what we need to know to provide the best possible for our animals.

Summary: This works...
Review: Sure, it would also have been possible to include all the thousands of corals known worldwide in this book, instead of restricting to those held in aquaria. But then you wouldn't succeeed in bringing the book with you to the aquarium retailer in order to identify corals in the dealer's tank before you buy. With this book that works...

Summary: Another wonder from Julian Sprung
Review: The perfect gift for that reef hobbist or scuba diver in your life. This book is full of great pictures of both hard and soft corals. It explains the best placement, lighting needs, and feeding needs. Perfect for identification.

Summary: Excellent pictures, but not as much care content as desired.
Review: This book has great pictures, with an excellent taxonomy of cnidarians, written by an author with both authority and experience in the subject. The book lacks, however, the basic and intermediate care descriptions that people would normally like for their corals. Best suited as an introduction to basic reef placement and coral identification. The lighting standards neglect to mention which corals are non-photosynthetic and which are photophobic, such as Nephthyigorgia.
