I am fairly knowledgeable in Indo-Pacific Scleractinian coral identification. My main areas of expertise/interest are "large-polyped stony" (LPS) corals, especially Merulinid and Lobophylliid brain corals, Fungiid plate corals. Apart from stony corals, I also like Indo-Pacific Zoanthus--especially the large-polyp species, and Palythoa.
My fascination with these animals stems from my involvement in the saltwater aquarium hobby. I am a real stickler for taxonomy and dislike misidentifications.
Apart from keeping reef aquaria, I also am a scuba diver and (amateur) underwater photographer. I mainly dive in Hawaii and the West-Atlantic during vacations.
