Borneman's book is good for identification to the Genus level. It also has some great information on water chemistry. I find its care guides for specific corals to be very generic and full of repetition. Still, a great all-around book.

Veron's series is the best there is for identification, right down to species. It has no captive care information, though. It does have some excellent general information about corals. The chapter on reticulate evolution is one of the most interesting pieces I've ever read.
