How to use the Coral Finder
(Duration: 10 minutes)
Check out the videos below for an introduction to using the Coral Finder underwater. (Note: the free coral identification video training course can be found at the Coral Hub.) The Coral Finder takes the hassle out of learning to identify corals by taking a WYSIWYLF approach – What You See is What You Look For – this means the shape, texture or life habit of the coral in front of you drives your inquiry. The Coral Finders unique visual logic system then sends you to a page of Look-Alikes and our eyes and brain (the onboard visual super computer) do the rest. Check out the workshop results for people using the Coral Finder - even complete novices are empowered within an hour.
What’s the catch? The Coral Finder will dramatically improve your ability to correctly name corals. The catch is, at first, you wont know why it has that name. That’s the beauty of the Coral Finder – it JUST WORKS! But it also where the Coral Hub comes in. A free online resource called the Coral Hub explains the how and why behind coral identification and gives you access to 2 hours of free, world class, video training. The Coral Finder also cross references back into Corals of the World so you can pursue your ID’s to species level as well. By taking an unashamedly practical approach to getting the correct name for the coral in front of you the Coral Finder fast tracks you into a world of learning that has previously not been possible.
