Julie,
If you are able to make it to the december meeting it always makes it there. I would suggest a few books to get going. One is by Eric Borneman - Aquarium Corals and the other is by Anthony Calfo - The Book of Coral Propagation. We just ordered a couple of copies of the Calfo book and I think we have Borneman's book. If you can't make the meeting, let me know and I can see if I can have someone check out a book for you and try to link up. A couple folks are not too far from you.
