Hi all,

I recently attended the CT Frag Farmer’s Market and was overwhelmed (in a good way) by all the different coral frags available for purchase. I honestly didn’t know what kind the majority of corals were nor their requirements. This really got me thinking that I need an excellent comprehensive resource for coral identification and care guidelines. What resources do you use to learn about corals?

For the most part, I will almost always go to @Tidal Gardens . They have excellent resources, lighting and flow requirements for almost every coral I've needed to find out more about.
They have great videos on their site as well!
