What Invertebrate?

The variety of marine invertebrates available for the aquatic hobby is vast, and increasing every year. The success rate in maintaining invertebrates in captivity keeps rising in step with an increasing understanding of how these creatures live in the wild and the development of life-support systems that closely replicate the complex conditions found on a coral reef. Successful breeding and 'farming' of invertebrates such as hard corals has reduced the impact of taking them from their endangered habitat in the tropical oceans. But how do you choose which invertebrates to feature in your display aquarium? This book dispels any confusion by presenting a selection of suitable species in logical categories such as soft corals, hard corals, anemones, polychaete worms, shrimps, crabs and starfish - complete with full details of their compatibility and ongoing care.
