Coralforum is very lucky to have such a great articles section, filled with loads of information free to you. We would love support back from anyone willing to help write articles.
In return for such a great deed, coralforum would be willing to give prizes such as coral frags, gift certificates, ect to articles that are approved and published by the Editor-in-Chief of the articles section, Charles Poole.
Copying articles not written by you will not be accepted, and we do have the power to find if they are originals or not. Please feel free to use references but make sure to include them with your article.
After editing articles, they will be sent back to the author to review before they are published. This is to ensure that the author approves of any changes or edits that may have been made.
Not every article that is submitted will get published, so the more time and effort you put into them, the more likely you are to have them published. Feel free to contact me directly through Coralforums Private Messenger, or email me at Admin@coralforum.com
Pictures are a great asset to any article, so feel free to send them as well. Submitting pictures will not increase the likelihood of your article getting published, but it doesn't hurt.
Articles submitted must NOT be posted anywhere else as these will be Coral Forum Exclusive.
