Help finding an id for coral site.

mswafford17 · 07-26-2007, 08:08 AM

I was given some nice pieces of coral at the lfs and I want to id them and read up on them. Does anyone know of a site with lots of pics and infor on coral. The one I am really trying to id Is glow in the dark green kinda looks like an acro but i have not seen any polyps. the stalks are round with vertical ridges or groves in it. Please help. It could be hydrophorna (not sure of spelling)

Chuck's page is excellent. I would also recomend Eric Borneman's Aquarium Corals book to help you learn some basic coral taxonomy and basic coral care. While not a website, I found it an excellent guide for most people and it's easy to just sit down while you have some spare time and actually read through again and again.
