This review is from: The 101 Best Marine Invertebrates: How to Choose & Keep Hardy, Brilliant, Fascinating Species That Will Thrive in Your Home Aquarium (Adventurous Aquarist Guide) (Paperback)
This book was easy to read, and very informative. I am new to this hobby, but I think a reference such as this would be helpful for any aquarist.

This review is from: The 101 Best Marine Invertebrates: How to Choose & Keep Hardy, Brilliant, Fascinating Species That Will Thrive in Your Home Aquarium (Adventurous Aquarist Guide) (Paperback)
This book has good general info, but the species listing is a little lacking. For every 2 species that were in this book I can find 1 at the LFS that isn't in here. It is an easy book to follow and the section with things to avoid is helpful as well; I just wish there were more species listed.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as it seems!,
