In this third volume of the encyclopaedia on The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium, you will find seven chapters containing a wealth of information not found in any other books on the subject!
The book starts out with a small chapter putting the animals we keep into an evolutionary perspective.
Chapter 2 covers microscopic single-celled animals that are so important for the biological balance of any aquarium.
Chapter 3 takes a look at sponges, true filter feeders among the invertebrates.
Chapter 4 deals with many small invertebrate phyla – such as the sea spiders and the water bears – most of which are rarely described in other aquarium books.
The huge chapter 5 covers all the phyla commonly called "Marine Worms", and here you will find scientifically updated information on all sorts of marine worms as well as unique photos and comments on those species and groups frequently found in the reef aquarium.
Chapter 6 details the Crustaceans, a group of invertebrates that have been
popular amongst aquarists since the beginning of the marine hobby, and
chapter 7 details 43 private reef aquaria from all over the world.
See volumes 1, 2 and 4.
