Borneman's book is the best I have seen yet. Complete in details and captive care infos. Lots of pictures.

I love "Natural Reef Aquariums(simplified approaches to creating living saltwater microcosms) by John H.Tullock. I paid $29.95 at Borders 2 years ago. It's a pretty complete book !. I'm still refering to it regularly.However if you want a book with reALLY DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT ALL TYPES OF CORALS, you will need to buy another book to complement Tullock.I need one too :D

Tim,
If you really want to understand reef aquariums, then I would suggest "The Modern Coral Reef Aquariums" by Fossa & Nilsen vol 1-3. The language may be a bit overstated, but all in all a great set which will get you on your way with a solid foundation to build upon. HTH.

It's called "Aquarium Corals" by Eric H. Borneman" published by Microcosm books.
