Anyone familiar of a good a site where genus and fam are all distinguished?

I just thought it would be nice to know a little more than the common names of some of the sps and which genus they belong to. Nothing worse than sounding like an ignoranus in LFS. Thank you much

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It isn't a website, but Aquarium Corals by Borneman is still probably the best book out there for that kind of thing. It's worth having a copy on hand.

It doesn't do much in the way of common names, but this site is excellent for identification and background info: http://coral.aims.gov.au/speciesPages/

It's expensive, but I would definitely recommend 'Corals of Australia and the Indo-Pacific' by CEN Veron. You can spend hours at a time pouring through the pages. The first part has a great summary of reef structure and habitat too.
