All animal lovers will appreciate the eye candy and information over at ARKive.org. The site is self described as “a unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world’s species.” For the aquarium hobbyist it is also a great tool particularly for coral identification and range. Some industry pros like Eric Borneman have already begun contributing to the site, as seen on the fact file for Nemenzophyllia turbida commonly known as the Fox Coral.
As expected, the ARKive is a work in progress. You can see the current coral listings here–some of which are not fully updated at this point. If you’d like to contribute to the site, you can do so via Flickr. You can also find their list of most wanted species here; which includes some aquarium inhabitants like Acanthastrea maxima and Psammacora contigua. Check it out.
