If you’re reading this right now, chances are you love reef tanks, saltwater fish, exotic corals, and simply can’t get enough detail and information about them. If you thirst particularly for coral information, boy have we got some great news for you because a new book – yes a physical, hardcopy – has just been released that will greatly expand your knowledge of corals, and the broader Cnidarian group to which they belong.
珊瑚礁建设者贡献者Joe Rowlett.已经在两年内完成了这项珊瑚分类和分类法的汇编,采购了四千photographs of soft corals, stony corals, anemones, sea pens, & hydroids. Not only are many of these broad groups lavishly illustrated, but we particularly fawn over Mr. Rowlett’s detailed reclassification of all these reef critters based on the latest genetic analysis and the resulting taxonomic understanding.
我们特别喜欢炫耀多少努力,炫耀如何多种物种Tubipora.can be, and blowing our minds with the updated species designation of the large polyp ‘Turbinaria’ as the second species ofDuncanopsammia那D. peltata.。Indo Pacific珊瑚场指南的一个方面是,它主要包括野外所有这些刺痛的动物的照片,因此没有粗糙,过饱和和较差地编辑的水族珊瑚照片,只是为了让所有基线都保持在类似的基线。
even with our own extensive experience with corals both in the aquarium and in the wild, we’ve already learned a lot from Joe Rowlett’s 800-page coral guide, especially when it comes to lesser known genera of zoanthids, anemones, and there’s even lots of extra time spent on the myriad of oddball, cryptic encrusting octocorals. If you’re looking for a guide to ephemeral, made-up coral trade names then move along, because the Indo Pacific Corals book is fact-based on the latest scientific understanding of coral species and related organism. This physical book will go a long way to clearing up what many of our aquarium critters actually are and it’s a must-have for any serious marine aquarium or ocean divers’ library. [亚马逊]
