## What is Coral Identifier?

Coral Identifier: Reef Corals helps you identify marine and reef corals from photos using AI-based image analysis. Simply take or upload a photo and receive a suggested coral identification designed specifically for saltwater tanks and reef aquariums.

This app is built for reef aquarium hobbyists who want a practical tool for photo-based coral identification while understanding that coral identification from images can be uncertain.

Coral Identifier analyzes visual features to suggest possible coral species commonly found in marine aquariums, including SPS, LPS, and soft corals. Identification results are presented with confidence levels and should be treated as guidance rather than guaranteed results.

For each identification, the app provides structured coral information such as coral type, general lighting and flow preferences, reef tank suitability, and basic care considerations to support reef aquarium decision-making.

Photo ID works best with clear, well-lit coral photos taken in reef aquariums. When confidence is low, the app avoids guessing and may return limited or no identification to ensure transparency and trust.

Coral Identifier is designed to support learning and decision-making for marine aquarium enthusiasts, not to replace expert knowledge or professional coral assessment.

Key features:

AI-powered coral identification from photos

Photo ID for saltwater tanks and reef aquariums

Recognition of SPS, LPS, and soft corals

Structured coral information for reef tanks

### 1/5 — i really wished this worked

*2026-03-09*

I went to a Coral show and bought a bunch of corals.  I bought this app to get the names of what I bought. Every one was incorrect.  pointed at a three head lobophiylia It said it was a hammer Coral.    wrong not even close.   Pointed at a Duncan Coral. It said it was a torch.     and on it went.   now I’m stuck for a year and paid for a year and nothing is correct. .   cannot unsubscribe and get my money back.   i wanted to contact the author, but you can’t do that either   so this is the only way to tell him this …. doesn’t work at all.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your feedback - and I’m really sorry this happened, especially after purchasing a yearly plan.
This definitely doesn’t reflect the experience we aim to provide. We’re actively improving identification accuracy and continuously refining the model based on real user cases.
We’re also working on adding confidence levels and alternative matches to make results clearer and more reliable.
Regarding your subscription - Apple handles all payments, and you can request a refund directly through them if needed.
If you’re open to it, feel free to share a few photos - real examples like yours help us improve much faster.
Thanks again for your honest feedback - it truly helps us make the app better. Improvements are coming very soon.
