Detail:  The increasing popularity of "minature reef" aquariums has made marine invertebrates more important as elements in the marine aquarium than ever before. These colorful and highly interesting animals are now regularly available, either as "living rock"combinations or as solitary specimens such as sea stars, sea urchins, sea slugs, sea cucumbers, crabs, shrimp, anemones and many other speicies.

This book is intended to give the answers to many of the basic questions regarding marine invertebrates in the home aquarium. The aquarist should obtain from this book an overall biological understanding of marine invertebrates.
