5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent coral book!, March 30, 2002
By Ann C. Gassiot (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
I cannot say enough positive things about this book. I have a significant collection of books on marine fish and reef aquariums,and this is easily one of the best I have. If you are planning to keep corals and are really serious, you should buy this book and follow Borneman's advice. The pictures are excellent, and the depth and intelligence of the coverage on everything from corallimorphs to stonies is exceptional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coral reference, May 4, 2005
Hands down, the best coral (soft corals, hard corals, and coral-like such as mushrooms) reference in my library. I use other reference guides, but always come back to this book. It has the most complete discussions on corals available to the aquariust. It is much cheaper than other coral references I have, and I think this is superior.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete Up-to-Date modern Information on maintaining corals, June 6, 2001
By A Customer
Wow, what an awesome book. At first I thought it would be just another Coral ID book, but it is A LOT MORE! It's an easy reading text, while providing some good in depth technical meat. The pictures are top notch, and He actually has corals in there that I feel are common or have seen for sale in stores, yet no other book I have ever seen covers them, until now. Eric's experience and knowlegdge is top notch. He provides some really good information based on radical new discoveries as well as more current accepted practices etc.

My advice: this is a must buy for any reef aquarist, both novice and expert. The information is modern and up-to-date. If you don't have time to read all the current information on reef aquariums and coral husbandry online on the Internet, you might want to get this book, as it will give you a nice summary of current information.
