Features

The original Coral Finder underwent three years of design and testing to ensure it was suitable for underwater field work in the tropics. Coral Finder 2.0 uses the same foundation feature set to maintain the original’s legendary ease-of-use and durability.

How it works

The answer to the question “What coral is that?” is in your head – literally. Your eyes and brain are the world’s most powerful supercomputer capable of solving complex problems instantly. The problem with traditional field guides is that they put text between you and the answer – and text needs to be interpreted. The Coral Finder reduces the problem of identifying corals to a series of simple visual choices. Read on… it’s as simple as 1,2,3!! “Watch the movie!”

Design

The Look-alike page

The Coral Finder creates a choice matrix for at-a-glance decision making where it really matters underwater. Just scan the page and “see” the answer!

Glossary

The Coral Finder takes the confusion out of learning coral identification with a simplified glossary of terms. Culled from the hundreds in use by professional taxonomists the Coral Finder only tells what you need to know to get the job done.

Reverse engineering

So you have a coral that doesn’t quite fit what you see on your Look-Alike page. Crisis? What crisis? Just use the genus index to track it down among the Coral Finder’s other growth forms. It’s called reverse engineering, you can do it underwater, and we don’t mind a bit!

ID

The Coral Finder makes coral identification practical and easy by using WYSIWYLF -
What You See Is What You Look For! Instead of memorising thousands of images and names in your head you just look up the shape and the Coral Finder gives you a simple matrix of best bets to choose from. Simple – just the way we like it.

Links

The Coral Finder provides a direct link from the coral you see underwater to the best choices to follow up in Corals of the World. It also provides a complete learning solution of FREE world class training resources on the Coral Hub.
