This book, which reflects the lifelong research work of the author, sets a new standard in the study of the Acropora. In marine biology such a work has quite an historical meaning, and in the Aquarium world it will help to place the knowledge of the hobbyists on a more scientifically founded base. This book should not under any circumstance be missing from the bookshelves of reef aquarium enthusiasts, who have a strong interest in staghorn corals.

One's initial impression of Wallace's work is one of exceptional aesthetic quality. . .the quantity of information provided is remarkable and is obviously the culmination of many years of painstaking research. . .an invaluable resource for anyone working with Staghorn corals or with Scleractinian systematics. A wonderful addition to any library. --Brooke Oceanographic Institution
