The books a re a good start. Most of my learning has come from reading these forums and talking with fellow reefers who give great advice.

There really are no sps dedicated books. First off sps is a made up term and 80 + percent of sps's are imposible to id. Also most people who keep them are advanced hobbiests to begin with. I mean basically what would you put in it anyway. They require good lighting, good flow and good water conditions.
