Yes, and definitely so if you're thinking about getting into the propagation of corals, as there is not only a bunch of info on the propagation, but the book covers aspects of shipping, brood stock acquisitiion, means and methods of husbandry for larger scale ops, and methods of reducing costs to accomplish economies of scale.

Anthony covers a number of topics in depth, my only issue with the book is that Anthony writes pretty much the same way he speaks publicly, so there is a tendency to ramble a bit, but that is not without adding related comment that is of value to the reader (heh, sorry Anthony ) For this same reason, the book is an easy read.


Vol 1 is a pretty complete book, and comvers a number of species of corals and coral types, I wonder what Vol 2 will hold...
