Aqua Splendor Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I'm struggling a lot to ID correctly my corals, internet is a giants mess when it comes to ID ocean life. I'm curious if you have some website you like to go to understand the scientific name and correct species, Not from a trade/seller point of view but scientific point of view. For example I use: http://www.coralsoftheworld.org/species_factsheets/ But it doesn't contain much unfortunately, I'm looking website with picture to easily ID visually 1 Quote Link to comment

Here’s a link to their reference images of acropora cerealis down to skeletal structure http://www.coralsoftheworld.org/species_factsheets/species_factsheet_images/acropora-cerealis/ So if you’re looking for picture ID, you need to have a few candidates for species names to be able to look up what their images might look like, hmm, I can see why that could make it tricky. 2 Quote Link to comment
Aqua Splendor Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Yeah it's just that website is a bit empty, but it's the kind of stuff I like about it, I just want a MUCH bigger database, Acropora and other SPS are easy but when it comes to NPS/Soft coral, it start to get tricky 😕 2 Quote Link to comment
