I also have the 'Aquarium Corals' book by Borneman which is great to start with. Definitely worth it and would probably be the best to start with.
However if you feel more adventurous later on, the best coral identification book out there is called 'Corals Of the World' (3 volumes) by Jen Veron. Excellent and extremely detailed. It is purely for coral identification with great colour pictures. Rather expensive but certainly worth every penny! Can buy it from Amazon.com
