What do you need the picturs of acans and lords for?

Using yahoo search and clicking images you find many and these are free to use I believe:

Hello Marcia
There is a very good set of 3 hard back books called "Corals of the World" by Jen Veron
The books cover hundreds of corals ,give a good description on each type and the photos are great.The only problem is they cost nearly $200 but well worth it There are also a lot of good books out there and cheaper too.It's just a case of looking around

Ollie
