Reef Creature Identification: Florida, Caribbean, Bahamas "2nd Edition"
The book that has been relied on for a decade to identify the weird and wonderful crabs, lobsters, shrimps, jellies, sponges, tunicates and mollusks that inhabit the reefs is now 30 percent larger!
Our 2nd edition includes 220 new photos of beautiful shells, outrageously camouflaged crabs, a superb collection of exquisite nudibranchs and the most outrageous octopus ever discovered in the Caribbean!
The scientifically up-dated text, illustrated with more than 660 fascinating photos, is the most comprehensive and beautiful visual ID reference published for marine invertebrates of the Florida Caribbean and Bahamas region. (448 pages 6" x 9" water resistant plastic covers)
Reef Coral Identification "2nd Edition"
You know the fishes and can identify the reef critters, but what about the animals that actually form a coral reef? Existing in an abundance of colors and intriguing shapes, these animals are worth a closer look. 530 classic photographs of living specimens and the most current scientific classifications help identify virtually every species of stony coral, gorgonian, fire coral and black coral inhabiting the tropical western Atlantic.
The new 2nd edition includes a comprehensive photo-essay of coral diseases and predation and a photo gallery on coral reproduction. If you want to know more about marine plants, we've got them, too; an appendix with descriptions and photos of 100 species of marine plants is included. Improved cloth-stitched flexi-binding with plastic covers allows book to lie flat. (288 pages 6" x 9" water repellent plastic covers)

Comments about New World Publications The Reef Set: Reef Fish, Reef Creature and Reef Coral (3 Volumes):
While you can't take it with you on a dive, it's great for use after the dive to identify what you saw during the dive. Usually this involves reviewing the images on your digital camera.
The books are set up so you look for general shapes and descriptions to find the appropriate sections in which to look for your particular fish, coral or "critter."

The fact that the books even show the juveniles along with the adults (on some fish) really helped us identify every picture that we took for our recent tropical trip. With over 500 pictures, we were very happy we made this purchase!

These books are the standard for recreational and advanced recreational fish, creature, and coral identification. Lay-flat, traditional style binding is an improvement over the spiral bound versions of these books. No spirals mean that pages can't creep out of the spirals, or get snagged on them as you turn the pages. It's nice to buy the complete set: you'll get 3 great books and they'll all be the same version. The Fish Behavior book from this publisher is a nice enhancement to this set of reference books. They can be heavy and bulky to take on vacation, but it's nice to have at least one of them with you on the boat or back at the hotel. Very useful when identifying creatures during your trip, or when you get home and are looking over your underwater photos.

We bought the Reef ID set to not only help us ID fish that we encounter but to serve as a good color reference when retouching our digital photos.
After researching other sites and shops, the price for the set at LeisurePro was the best.
I only wish there was a CD-ROM version that we could take along with us when we travel. Although, we usually bring the Fish ID book with us.
