We bought this book to help us identify the proper names for what we have taken pictures of while vacationing various reefs in the caribbean over the past 10 years. We cannot always find everything that we may have a picture of, but it comes close. We have several of the other books written by this author and we have found them extremely helpful and educating. Nice layout and easy to use. Pictures are very good quality. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about coral reefs.

This was given to me as a Christmas Gift...It wasn't the one that I had requested, but none the less its a very good reference book! I will soon have all 3 Identification books in this series. I've already gone back to some of my pictures to identify what reef formations I have pictures of. Enjoy...

This book is easy to use, yet provides the information that you need. Its color pictures make it easy to identify the coral that you see in the book out in the field.

For scuba divers, these volumns are unparalleled. There is so much to see under the sea and so many corals look very similar. Paul does an excellent job of helping you differentiate among species. Of course you have to use your memory or your camera to compare it to the guide book after the dive, cause the book does not tolerate depth very well. ;) Highly recommended book!
