I second the book by Eric Borneman. I haven't looked at the other book yet.

I like both of the books mentioned by Paintbug.

The nice thing about Srung's book are the little charts that show several variable including suggested placement for each coral.

In addition to the above books I also have Corals of the World by Veron. For SPS, it's the definitive identification set of books.

Best of luck,

Roy

I'd go with Borneman's book too, Sprung definitely second [pretty, but less info IMO].
