Fish/Coral/Invert ID resources

[rstark18]

What website is the best and largest resource for IDing creatures?

[tinyreef]

google.

 

 

start with common names or approximates. chances are very shortly, you'll come up with something that matches or at least link you to a site that specializes in it, e.g. seaslug forum, zoaid, algae sites, etc.

 

you can try "google normal" or "google image" ime.

Thanks Prop, much closer to what I am looking for. But what I really need is something geared toward reef keeping. I need to know things like minimum size tank, lighting requirements, feeding requirments, etc. Do you know of any sites like that?

Holy crap man! I gave you the holy grail and you want more?

 

all you need is in the links I gave you. Once you know the scientific name then you go google'n for size and care ect ect....

Gotcha. Thanks again those ARE great links.

 

I'm preplanning a tank I'm going to start in a few months and want to get a list of what I want to keep. I'm being extra cautious 'cause I haven't had a tank in 10+ years and, wow, things have changed.
