Reef Inverts - Calfo

An Essential Guide to Selection, Care and Compatibility, by Anthony R. Calfo and Robert M. Fenner

A healthy reef aquarium hosts much more than just corals and fish. This book explores the broad variety of invertebrate organisms that reef aquarists often keep. The frequently encountered accidental acquisitions, "hitch hikers" on live rock and corals, and from live sand, are also addressed. Reserving coverage of corals and anemones for a separate volume, this book includes:

Crustaceans: crabs, shrimps, lobsters, zooplankton
Giant Clams: Tridacna and Hippopus
Other Mollusks: oysters, scallops, snails, nudibranches
Echinoderms: starfish, sand dollars, urchins, cucumbers
Worms: featherdusters, fanworms, bristleworms, flatworms
Sponges, sea squirts and tunicates
Algaes, refugiums live rock and sand.

Complete coverage of individual selection, system planning, and long term care of these organisms is combined with taxonomic information and practical advice. Each section is packed with helpful tips for the successful husbandry of invertebrates appropriate for captive marine aquaria.
