Good coral guide
As I expected. Good pictures, easy coral identification and main keys to choose and mantain your reef aquarium corals.
I think is a reasonable price choice for reef aquarium hobbyists interested in getting introduced to coral world.
If you want to know deeply about each coral gender, maybe you have to try with another books, but if you want a simple and quick information coral guide this is definitely your option.
