A museum-grade reef reference built for real reef keepers.
The Unabridged Coral Identification Guide for Reef Keepers is a laboratory-accurate, museum-grade visual taxonomy reference designed by marine scientist Christina Rene Duncan. Featuring 650+ individually cataloged coral specimens, this guide presents corals organized by current, accepted taxonomic classification across major families, orders, and genera. It is designed as a permanent visual reference for education, study, and serious reef keeping—not a simplified chart or decorative poster.
Why This Guide Matters
- Comprehensive scope – over 650 coral specimens documented and organized using modern coral taxonomy
- Scientific accuracy – imaged with a Nikon D850 and 105mm macro lens to preserve morphological detail critical for identification
- Reference-first design – structured for fast, accurate visual comparison rather than casual browsing
Perfect For
- Reef Keepers seeking a serious coral identification reference
- Educators, marine laboratories, and STEM learning environments
- Offices, fish rooms, frag spaces, and controlled indoor settings
- Collectors and coral photographers working with classification and form

Corals by Christina™ presents the Reef Keepers Taxonomy Guide — a science-driven, art-forward visual reference created for those who demand accuracy, clarity, and taxonomic integrity in coral identification.
