About CoralRealm

Welcome to CoralRealm! We’re very excited to have you be a part of the global marine life and fish-keeping community.

CoralRealm was founded and created by three marine biologists: Matt, Jakob and Marco. Based in the UK and USA we have now grown to a full sized team, of content writers and even an office dog!

Our objective is to help educate those who are interested in learning about marine or freshwater biology, to promote conservationism, but also those who wants to keep fish in healthy way.

We are committed to the high-quality, research backed trustworthiness of our content. Our content is written by our team of marine biologists that continue to practice in their fields of choice.

Here, at CoralRealm, you can find out everything you need to know about keeping fish, aquarium maintenance, conservation, ecology, and we even have a huge database of sharks, fishes and invertebrates for general knowledge.
