Reef Life Identifier: ReefIQ

About this app

What did you just find on the beach? ReefIQ identifies shells, coral, crabs, lobsters, sea urchins, starfish, and hundreds of ocean creatures — instantly from a photo. Point your camera at anything you pulled out of the water, washed up on shore, or spotted while snorkeling, and ReefIQ tells you exactly what it is. Not a generic nature app. ReefIQ is purpose-built for the ocean. Shellfish, reef creatures, mollusks, crustaceans, coral species — the stuff that iNaturalist buries under 50 million land-based observations and Picture Fish ignores entirely. HOW IT WORKS: Snap a photo of any shell, coral, or sea creature. ReefIQ's AI analyzes shape, color, texture, and pattern to identify the species. You get the common name, scientific classification, habitat info, diet, typical size, and fun facts. Save identifications to your collection log and build a library of everything you've found. BUILT FOR: • Beachgoers who find shells and want to know what they are • Snorkelers and divers cataloging reef life • Fishermen identifying their catch • Marine biology students studying species • Seafood lovers learning about what's on their plate • Tide pool explorers with curious kids SPECIES ENCYCLOPEDIA: Every identification comes with rich species information — habitat range, diet, lifespan, seasonal behavior, and migration patterns. Learn something new every time you scan.
