Book son marine biology

[robcampman]

I'd like to read in about marine biology, especially some info about coral growth, and the biology of nitous cycle . What would be a good book about this subject, concidering i don't have a biology or significant academic background. I'm not afraid of complex scientific readings, but to much statistics tend to be boring ;-)

any ideas?

Two books I highly recommend are:

Fish Disease: Diagnosis and Treatment by Dr. Edward J Noga.

Captive Seawater Fishes: Science and Technology by Dr. Stephen Spotte

While not the easiest reading, they are both superb.

Both books are somewhat expensive but are well worth the money. For more aquarium related information, including corals, I suggest books by Anthony Calfo.

thanks for the tips. I had Calfo's book of coral propagation, great info .

I liked the "the reef Aquarium" series by Delbeek and Sprung. Also the book Marine aquarist by fenner
