FAQ
A few quick answers
Can the app identify every coral with certainty?
No. Coral Identifier is designed to provide likely matches and narrow your options, not deliver guaranteed species-level certainty from a single image.
Does lighting affect identification quality?
Yes. Heavy blue lighting, glare, or motion blur can lower result quality. Neutral spectrum and sharp focus improve match quality significantly.
Should I rely on AI results for care decisions?
Treat AI suggestions as a starting point. Verify with trusted references, experienced hobbyists, and direct coral behavior before changing care.
Is Coral Identifier for beginners only?
No. Beginners use it as a learning aid, while experienced reef keepers use it to speed up first-pass identification and comparison.
