 Reef Coral Identification "2'nd Edition" By Paul Humann  Reef
Coral Identification "2'nd Edition" By Paul Humann Features  You
know the fishes and can identify the reef critters, but what
about the animals that actually form a coral reef? Existing in
an abundance of colors and intriguing shapes, these animals are
worth a closer look. 530 classic photographs of living specimens
and the most current scientific classifications help identify
virtually every species of stony coral, gorgonian, fire coral
and black coral inhabiting the tropical western Atlantic.  The
new 2nd edition includes a comprehensive photo-essay of coral
diseases and predation and a photo gallery on coral
reproduction. If you want to know more about marine plants,
we've got them, too; an appendix with descriptions and photos of
100 species of marine plants is included. Improved flexibinding
with plastic covers allows book to lie flat. (288 pages 6" x 9")
