Are there any good online coral databases?

[clsanchez77]

Looking for something online for coral references as far as origin, density, behavior...something similar to www.fishbase.com or www.reef.org

By origin, I mean more than Atlantic or Pacific, but more specifically what parts of the Atlantic, depth ranges, reef zones (crest, rubble, cave, sand flat...),...

I am setting up a Gulf/Caribbean biotope for the cherub angel, tank will feature a rubble zone and I know that coral presence is very limitied here.

Thanks,

Chris

I'm interested in this also. My tanks have gotten too generic so I'm changing them over to biotopes.

Viola! It's pretty much just like fishbase.org.

you can look around here. It's a Japanese site but the names of the coral are in English...or Latin...
