Would you use a coral reference database?

i think this would be an amazing idea, sure there are hundreds of crappy websites online but the problem is that i have to navigate from website to website trying to find out if this fish is aggressive or not or if this coral needs this or this. i have to agree that i often find myself on libe aquaria because its really easy to navigate but the info seems incomplete.
i vote HECK YES!!!

The Zeovit Forums have a nice SPS area:

I think this extends to other corals and fish as well but I've only ever looked in the SPS one.

Any stile would be better IF you can see the picture first instead of scientific name. Because if you don't know the name (that is the reason you looking it up in the first place) it will take hours to click on all names to see the picture you are looking for.
So pictures first (can be small) descriptions second.
Thank you for your efforts.

Just hit login, then register and you will be good to go in 30 seconds.
As for the picture search, I will add this tonight. I have been planning to implement it.

And for whatever reason reef wiki.com didn't cross my mind. Thanks!

Reefwiki is now perminantly hosted at reefwiki.ca

Check it out, and more importantly add something to give me a hand.
