Saltwater & Reef
Saltwater fish, corals, and reef invertebrates
What saltwater species does Animal Graphics cover?
The saltwater catalog spans the marine aquarium trade: anemonefishes, angelfishes, butterflyfishes, tangs, wrasses, gobies, blennies, groupers, triggerfishes, and many more, alongside the invertebrates that build a reef, including hard and soft corals, anemones, shrimp, crabs, sea stars, and mollusks. Each group is pictured and named with common and scientific names for identification.
How the marine catalog is organized
The saltwater listings are split the way a reef keeper actually shops. Fish are grouped by family and trade grouping: anemonefishes and clownfishes, angelfishes, anthias, butterflyfishes, damselfishes, dottybacks, gobies and dart gobies, groupers and basslets, hawkfishes, parrotfishes, pufferfishes, rabbitfishes, seahorses and pipefishes, scorpionfishes and lionfishes, snappers, squirrelfishes, tangs, triggerfishes, and wrasses, among others. That grouping mirrors how livestock arrives and how a customer asks for it.
The alphabetical saltwater list pages break the deep catalog into manageable ranges so a specific species is quick to find. Whether someone is matching a fish to a name or a name to an image, the catalog is built to answer the identification question first, which is the same job the printed reef plates do on a store wall.
The invertebrates that make it a reef
A marine display is more than its fish, and the invertebrate coverage reflects that. The catalog includes anemones, hard corals, soft corals with mushroom anemones and zoanthids, gorgonians, sponges, crabs, lobsters, shrimp, sea stars, sea cucumbers, urchins, mollusks, and the cleanup and grazing animals that keep a system healthy. For a coral-and-frag retailer, the coral and reef invertebrate plates are the heart of the identification library.
Predatory reef fishes and mini-reef fishes get their own dedicated identification titles, because the two ends of the marine market, the peaceful nano reef and the large predator system, are stocked and sold very differently. Picturing them separately keeps each customer looking at the animals that actually fit their tank.
What to look for
Choosing the right materials
- Grouped the way reef keepers shop. Families and trade groupings mirror how livestock arrives and how customers ask.
- Fish and inverts both covered. From angelfishes and tangs to corals, anemones, shrimp, stars, and mollusks.
- Nano and predator kept separate. Mini-reef and predatory reef fishes have distinct titles for very different tanks.
- Identification first. Common and scientific names on every group, the same job the wall plates do.
- Corals get real depth. Hard corals, soft corals, mushroom anemones, and zoanthids are split for frag retailers.
