+1. Great ids and care info. Nice pictures too.

Borneman for sure. Some information is not recent, but he still makes the most sense.

There are probably some other good books out there, but once I picked up Borneman's book, I never really felt the need to buy another coral book...it's pretty comprehensive.

Corals of the World by Veron is a very good series. It's more comprehensive than Borneman's book but less hobby oriented.

For the money Eric Borneman's book is by far the best that I've read.
