Nowhere on earth is there a more beautiful and more abundant life than that which exists on the coral reefs just below the surface of the ocean. Reef Life is filled with information and images that brings order to the multitude of living things that exist here and allows the reader to appreciate the diversity and the richness of the world under the sea.

This handy guidebook will prove invaluable to the diver, tourist, student and naturalist. Each species of plant and animal is covered in detail: name, species, habitat, food, range, and a thorough description is provided for each entry. More than 400 species are covered and illustrated with 500 color photographs to provide a comprehensive look at this most magnificent world.

This is an ideal book for anyone interested in marine life. It provides up-to-date information, clear color photographs in a handy format for use in the field or at a desk. Readers who need essential facts quickly will be pleased with the orderly presentation of information, the completeness of the entries and the accuracy of the information. The color photographs help in identifying species as well as providing a visual reference for the information presented.

5 out of 5 stars Best identification system!   July 21, 2004
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

Reef Life is a field guide to reef dwellers and other ocean creatures by Andrea Ferrari. The photographs are both stellar and stunning, providing easy identification. The descriptions of the species listings are thorough, and very informative. A variety of invertebrates, fishes, Eels, and mollusks are covered. Dozens of species of: triggerfish, pufferfish, squirrelfish, butterflyfish, and other invertebrates are inserted into the text. I prefer this over the Audubon Guides for a single reason. Pufferfish are my all time favorite creatures, and Reef Life does this little known fish family justice. Many species of puffers are shown and described, including: Oceanic puffers, Starry puffers, Porcupinefish, Northern puffers, and last but not least, the giant Map Pufferfish. This is not all for the worshippers of other species, however. There are ocean creatures for everyone to marvel at here.
The binding of this guide is high quality cardboard. Paperback would have worn out within weeks of use. The illustration on the cover seems to be different, with a photo of a butterflyfish instead of a clown trigger. One of the best deals on the market.
