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 flexibinding with plastic covers allows book to lie flat. (288 pages 6" x 9")

Comments about New World Publications Reef Coral Identification "2'nd Edition" By Paul Humann:
Another in the series. Great book which will have you easily identifying all the corals you will see while diving or snorkelling the ocean. These authors know their stuff. The pictures are accurate. A phenomenal book. If you're buying this you may as well buy Reef Creatures and Caribbean Fish by the same authors, you won't be disappointed.
