ID Books

[CrayolaViolence]

I've looked and haven't found one, so maybe there isn't one in existence yet, but is there a book that does simple coral identification. Not of coral in the ocean, but of coral in tanks (since they can change so much), photo, with name, scientific name, then basic stats (location, water salinity, movement, etc). I have several books, some thin, that do something like this, but they have very few representations of coral in them. I also have a few but most of the photos are of wild corals not green house corals and the variations that occur with them. I keep thinking there should be a book out there like identification of dog breeds or cat breeds only for coral, but have yet to find it.
Does anyone know of any?

This website will help you, it has information on many of the corals found in our hobby:

I find this book very helpful with Id and care tips ! If im on the fly at the LFS I usually use liveaquaria.com or animal-world.com/Aquarium-Coral-Reefs/

Happy Reefing :beachbum:
