I saw a book in a lfs. I believe it was called The Ultimate Marine Aquarium Book??? I think. All I know is I am getting one. It had Steve Weast's aquarium featured in it.

That book has no information on the identification and care of corals. It is merely a compilation of "Tank-of-the-Month" type selections. He sent out a questionaire to various hobbyists and compiled the responses with photos submitted by the hobbyists.

I have the book. It is interesting. The photography, in general, is lousy. No effort was made to standardize the units of measurement.

That is not to say that you might not like the book. I like it in spite of its many shortcomings.

Aquarium Corals: Selection, Husbandry & Natural History by Eric H. Borneman.

Hard to beat this volume. It is a comprehensive guide and an educational tool,in a sence. Covers just about all the corals that you might encounter in the LFS and online.
