[edit] Description

KEEPING LIVE CORALS has been likened to "bonsai for the Cousteau generation" and "the ultimate underwater gardening experience."

Beautiful, bizarre, and among nature's most colorful creations, living corals are now being successfully kept and grown in tens of thousands of home saltwater aquariums.


A Must-Have Guide for All Reefkeepers -- Beginner to Expert


For the first time, master aquarist Eric Borneman offers an authoritative, comprehensive, and fully illustrated guide to appropriate aquarium species, including a diversity of soft corals, as well as popular and rare large-polyp and small-polyp stony corals.


More than 700 world-class photographs and text reviewed by leading coral biologists and coral keepers guides the reader through the selection and husbandry of hundreds of species.


Includes a foreword by the preeminent coral biologist Dr. J.E.N. Veron, author of Corals in Space & Time and Corals of Australia and the Indo-Pacific.
