Reefpedia
Reefpedia: the community-maintained encyclopedia of marine fish and corals.
Over 1,000 species of marine fish, corals and invertebrates with care, compatibility, lighting and flow data. Maintained by the ReefFlow community.
A species catalog by reefers, for reefers.
Reefpedia is the marine aquarium encyclopedia inside ReefFlow. Over 1,000 species cataloged — marine fish, corals (LPS, SPS, soft, zoanthids, palys), invertebrates (shrimps, crabs, snails, urchins, stars) — with technical fact sheets written and reviewed by the ReefFlow community.
Each entry covers what matters before you buy: scientific and common name, care level, minimum tank size, recommended lighting (PAR/PUR), flow, diet, reef-safe status, placement on the rock, social behavior, and photos in different conditions. Coral entries also include difficulty (easy, medium, advanced), regional origin and acclimation tips.
Unlike a closed magazine database, Reefpedia is alive: you rate entries (stars, comments), report inconsistencies, suggest edits. Data improves with every user. The Wikipedia of the reef tank, inside the app.
