I am looking for a good book or base of information that covers coral identification and care. Do you know of any good sources? I am purchasing the Marine Invertebrates and Marine Fishes by Scott books They are from Amazon.com. I have noticed most of you have these books, and I see them in most LFS so I assume they are worth the money. Is there anything else that I should need? ------------- Vipers look cool at a distant, but be careful of the bite..its a killer! Still to many cool stuff not enough money |

I know that the club used to have a library for member checkout. Not sure if we still do or not. Anyone from the Presidency chime in? ------------- Sean Spargur West Valley, UT |

We have one by Sprung that I like but it is super basic info as far as care for the coral goes. There is another that I have been eyeballing, it is the one with the green cover I don't recall who wrote it. I know Bob Carlson has it cause I saw it at his house  he said he liked it.

Corals of the World by Veron, volumes 1 and 2 are the best for coral ID. They're also very expensive.
I think the one that Wendy is talking about is "Aquarium Corals: Selection, Husbandry and Natural History" by Eric Borneman. I have this book and it's great. ------------- Sean Spargur West Valley, UT |

I believe the Green book is Corals by Borneman, but I could be wrong.
Also the club sold out it's library due to lack of demand and lack of returning items checked out.
