I considered myself a beginner in corals before reading this.

I really liked "The New Marine Aquarium". Much of the same information can be found in the stickies at the top of this forum but I enjoy having a book in my hands.

Good luck!

I enjoyed New Marine Aquarium as well. That was the book I bought after I decided I wanted to do this, but there isn't much info about coral in it.

I also have http://www.amazon.com/Conscientious-Marine-Aquarist-Commonsense-Successful/dp/1890087025

Which has much of the same information, but also talks about different types of fish and inverts as well (IE small sections on Clowns, Tangs, Blennies, Shrimp, etc). Mentions different species and characteristics and what they eat. It's a pretty good book and has some good pictures.


I'm going to pick up a copy of Corals from that link provided.

Thanks guys, you have me spending more money on books than anything thing else.
I love reading that stuff. I've been on this forum for hours a night and just can't seem to get enough. Wish I would have went with the reef tank years ago.
