Coral Magazine APRIL Preview! Check it out!

revhtree · Mar 17, 2009

Just wanted to keep you guy on top of everybody else and get you out a preview of the new Coral Magazine coming out in April. If your not subscribed to this magazine then you should be. It is awesome I promise you that!

The cover subject of the much-anticipated March/April issue of CORAL is a definitive look at Large-Polyp Stony Corals with an incredible array of images from the wild, as well in the aquarium.

CORAL, now coming from the same publishing team that produces Microcosm Books in Vermont, has already more than doubled the circulation of the previous incarnation of the magazine.

The travel feature takes the reader to the Galapagos, above and below the waterline.

For dreamers, there is a great profile of the Gem Tang (Zebrasoma gemmatum), a detailed look at a spectacular 52-gallon stony-coral reef in Germany, and a stunning photo essay on zooplankton by Matthew L. Wittenrich.

The story everyone will talk about is a piece by Matt Pedersen of Chicago, who reveals how he trains Orangespotted Filefish (Oxymonacanthus longirostris) to eat prepared foods and has them spawning in his nano-reef.

Among the many other features, Charles Delbeekâ€™s Advanced Aquarist column makes a controversial case for hiding powerheads and keeping coralline algal growth under control.

The March/April 2009 will start arriving in subscribers homes at the end of the first week of April.

New subscribers may elect to start with this issue or the January/February issue (Triggerfishes).

I can't wait to read more about Matt Pedersen of Chicago, who reveals how he trains Orangespotted Filefish (Oxymonacanthus longirostris) to eat prepared foods and has them spawning in his nano-reef.

I've also seen Matt's presentation on this and it's really exciting to see how he's blazing some new ground with spawning and ...

I was lucky enough to obtain one of Matt's females he had eating prepared foods and he coached me of getting a new male I acquired to eat prepared foods as well. Believe it or not, they love flake food once in a while too! I no longer have the pair, but they are very cool fish! Can't wait to get the magazine and read more!

For anyone looking for a reef junkie magazine, but tired of the same ole info rehashed, this is a magazine for you. It generally has articles from the beginner to the advanced hobbyist (or those of us who like to think of ourselves as such anyway;)). Can't wait for mine:). I usually go through them pretty quickly... Then I start wishing they were monthly;).

I like the new format......The pics are clearer and seem to be better taken with this publisher....I think they made a great mag even greater....

I have liked this mag since day one, but always had a hard time finding it in Colorado. So I just subscribed for a year, thanks for posting this.

Seems to be a great magazine, but why is it so expensive?

pmomberger · Mar 23, 2009

I was a subscriber to CORAL but did receive a letter indicating they were changing the mag abd would be republishing under a different name. I still haven't recieved an issue in over 4 months anybody no what the deal is?
