coral book

[Michaël RARD]

Dear Douglas and others,

I'm a PhD student on coral growth and bioerosion in Reunion Island.
I just have received the latest book (in 1 volume) of Veron. Before this new
collection in 3 volumes, it was the reference in coral taxonomy.

Because I work in the Indian Ocean, my problem with this book is that some
species are not described in my book.

To your mind, do you think there are many other new species in this new
collection ? Do you thing I can find in this one what I search, with the
knowledge of its price !

Thanks for your answer and have a nice day.
Michaël
