Coral reef workers know the importance of staghorn corals (genus Acropora) on reefs throughout the world, and will recognise the need to accurately identify the different species. They will therefore appreciate the value of this interactive key for identifying staghorn corals which has resulted from the first major review of the Acropora in over 100 years.

A simple step-by-step selection of characters will enable the user to identify any of the 113 species of Acropora. Over 2000 photographs, micrographs and illustrations in colour and black and white are included to guide the user. Additionally, there is a photographic database of the type specimens of Acropora collected from museums around the world.

The CD-ROM is complemented by the book Staghorn Corals of the World: A Revision of the Genus Acropora, which synthesises all we know about this genus.
