Easy Reading, Good Beginner Book by SEALs fan  4 Stars
October 24, 2009
This book was easy to read and had some good information for people just starting out with corals. You can find the book on Amazon for only a couple of bucks making it worth the money. The book has general information on keeping corals, water parameters, etc but it also has 2 chapters dedicated to different types of corals. The chapters cover a few of the more common corals and provides general information about water flow, feeding, lighting, etc. If you are looking for an easy to read book that gives you some general information on coral keeping then this is the book for you.

For the beginning reef tank enthusiast this has been a great book. All the information you need to know is well presented, easy to understand. The size and layout enable the reader to look up information quickly. Lots of illustrations and great index to species and their care requirements.I highly recommend this book.

Great point of reference, lot's of info. by Marcelo C. (California, USA) 4 Stars
April 15, 2008
I feel this book is fairly informative. Although it does not have as many pictures as some other ones, it does have a great deal of text.
It states all the required info- common names, scientific name, (usually a 2 paragraph description,) lighting, current, feeding, compatibility, placement, and hardiness. I
t also gives you info on reproduction/propagation which, if you want to start fragging, is a great bonus, as well as other info on the specimen.
It's a very informative yet small (130 pgs.) book. The first 5 chapters talk about Coral Biology, the next 3 talk about Coral Husbandry, their is another chapter about propagation and one about understanding corals in general, and lastly there are around 50+ pages on soft/hard corals and tips on picking the right ones!
Overall I'd give this a 4 out of 5. If it had a few more pictures of different species it'd be an all inclusive book!
