Coral Info

m1000con · 03-09-2008, 09:21 PM

is there a good place to go to find the lighting, food, and current requirements of a particular coral. Im looking for a website or good book that would have the best listing of as many corals. Im having trouble here cause I have been limited to T5 lighting and no one tells me if a particular coral requres intense lighting or describes intense. Any ideas out there?

Two of my favorite books on coral are;

"Aquarium Corals : Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History" by Eric Borneman

"Corals of the World" by Dr. JEN Vernon a 3 volume set. a bit pricey but well worth the money

You can find more that TR members recommend at the following link.

Hope this helps.

You can also check out Coral Identification and information at Coralidea.com for some good basic info and some great reference pics. It's downloadable for your iPod or other PDA type device.

I have "Aquarium Corals : Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History" by Eric Borneman but it only seems to show general info like all acropora I am looking for more info like the requirements for a specific type of acropora. I am always told not to generalis ot find specifics.
